[quote=Anonymous]I would strongly recommend not becoming a SAHM if it's not something you specifically want to do. I made the same choice you're considering making 10 years ago, and basically became more and more depressed over the years until I finally decided to go back to work. I love my kids, but I felt like I'd completely given up myself. Now that I'm working again, I'm much happier and I'm a better, more engaged parent. But I really regret those years I missed and how it has limited my options since going back, and the transition was really hard because we were that much more entrenched in having me as the primary parent than before I stopped working. If I had to do it over again, I would have found a way to stay in the workforce.[/quote]
