I currently WAH as a medical transcriptionist with my 7 week old daughter. My husband wants to relocate so that he can eventually go to the police academy in his home state, which isn't even taking new applicants right now.

Anyway, i'd have to give up this WAH job and go with another WAH job that pays about 1/3 of what I earn now AND we'd give up our apartment to live in my MIL's house, albeit she is never there becuase she is a police officer and always busy.
Anyway, I know eventually i'd have to get an WOH job in our new city to pay the bills, at least until DH got into the academy, and I really don't want to put DD in daycare.

Am I nuts for being upset about the idea of moving? I just can't convince my husband it's not a good idea. Not to mention, I'd give up benefits, a 401k.. all kinds of things, for a job that doesn't have any of that. NOT a financially secure idea with a baby. But his theory is that you have to take one step back to get 2 steps ahead.
