[quote=Anonymous]I was so interested that several of posters with one or more Ivy League degrees piped up about being SAHMS, and not feeling guilty (even when people tried to make you feel bad about it). I'm like you, except totally guilt-ridden. I love being home, taking care of my kids, making dinner for my family, and making sure my household runs smoothly. We are so lucky to be in circumstances that allow me to do this. But I can't really enjoy it, because I feel so guilty about all the education I am "wasting" and letting down everyone who had such high expectations as to what I would achieve professionally. Can I ask if any of you have struggled with this? And how you made peace with it? Do you ever worry about what you will do when the kids leave home? I know we are all different (and probably I should just find a shrink and talk this out) but I'd love to hear how other women in this situation think about it. [/quote]
