You say you have to work but you absolutely refuse childcare for the kids. Being as the majority of women work outside the home, would you if not able to work from home, a) quit work, be with the kids and starve and be homeless or b) would you work outside your home and have someone else watching them? I would never say what I refused to do. What you plan on may not be what you actually have to wind up doing in life.
