[quote=Anonymous]I'm a SAHM and my kids are teens, now. Look, OP, there are significant downsides. One of which is since you are always there, your time, and your presence, is taken for granted. The relationship you are having now with your kids is like a vacation-relationship; if you were there all the time, the nature of the relationship would change. I have a friend who works long hours away from home and when she's home, the family prioritizes their togetherness. Eating as a family. Hiking as a family. Etc. The kids like, and value, spending time with their mom because they've had to *miss* their mom when they wanted her around. So enjoy the unexpected gift of this situation, but don't mistake the acute for the chronic.[/quote]
