[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Another SAHM from that thread.  I consider myself very fortunate.  I had my child when I was 42.  Would love to have another but unfortunately not possible at this point.  My one and only is 4 so I love being able to SAH and enjoy his childhood.  He attends preK and we have the option of early pickup which I use.  We have a lot of fun together.

I worked for many years before I had a child and don't miss it at all.  But I toy with the idea of returning but who knows?  My husband will retire by the time our DC enters high school so I plan to join him in things we enjoy doing together.  For now, I plan to volunteer in causes that interest me when he is in school full time.

I realize I never addressed your question.  I don't feel guilty at all about SAH or "wasting my education."  My career wasn't child friendly (understatement) so if I wanted to continue my career and do well, I would have stayed childless.  Easy choice for me.  I have many friends with similar backgrounds who are my age and childless.  Everyone has to do what's right for them and I'm too old to care what anyone else thinks I should do.[/quote]
