[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you can pretty much say that. Hey hon, we tried that this summer and younwere miserable. Maybe it's just the jobnyou are in and you want to find something you are more passionate about.[/quote] +1 I do agree that being a sahm with a baby and toddler is super hard, and I didn't want to do it (also didn't want to kill my career). Now they are older ES (and career wise btdt), and I did decide to sahm, but I do 95% of all housechores, childcare, and some of the yard work, too. I have the flexibility to volunteer; I'm the default parent 99% of the time, and DH never has to think about snow days, half days, etc... and work flexibility. This works for us. Grown ups need to make hard choices and realize that for most of us, we can't have our cake and eat it, too. Tell her to find a different job that gives her flexibility. And it doesn't sound like she'd be content being a sahm even with older kids. [/quote]
