Oh and when I was working, I ate horribly and gained 15 pounds. I eat healthy, work out and am now back to my pre kid weight (120 pounds).

Found myself thinking – who wouldn’t want this!? Alas not going to happen for me as I’m 37 and while I’ve made money and thus could contribute a lot to a home/retirement/college, I’m not at all attractive, but honestly OP go for it.

I know you say you want that but after making $$$ for 15 yrs, trust me grocery shopping wouldn’t be fulfilling.

I worked for 15 years and struggled with work life balance. I now have a new third child and very happy. I’d estimate 80% of my job was bs and 20% enjoyable. Being stuck in an office and sticking your kid in daycare when it’s gorgeous out or seeing friends on vacation was far worse. I met DH for lunch today with the baby. Will meet my older kids at the bus stop with the baby in 2 hours. Don’t have to worry about running out of PTO for spring break. Life is good.

I had fun in college and grad school. Worked for a decade before kids. Jugged work life balance for 5 years before staying home full time.

You're definitely not what OP envisioned. OP doesn't want to work for 15 years while struggling with work life balance. She wants to quit at least by the time she has the first kid. You put in a lot of time as a working mom and only became a SAHM with 3--you didn't date and marry with the intent of becoming one, nor did you plan on being one when your first kids were born.

Yeah, it's not like your husband and you decided you'd be a SAHM before you had your first kid--OP wants that situation, and that kind of man.

Pp here. Dh’s ex girlfriend wanted nothing more than to marry DH and be a SAHM. DH found that very unattractive and dumped her. If she played her cards right, DH probably would have married her. Most guys don’t want to marry women who strive to be a SAHM.

One thing that works in OP's favor is that she thinks she's living well on a teacher's salary in Arlington, so I think she doesn't necessarily need a 500k/year plus husband to be happy, just being a SAHW.
