[quote=Anonymous] I did the SAHM thing for 2 years. Hours were shorter (830a - 530p) , but I knew it wasn't for me long term. I left my job when I was 8 months pregnant for health reasons and we had planned I would stay home for the first few months anyways. Then an amazing opportunity for travel came about and we were gone for about a year. came back, did about another 6 months before it really set in that it wasn't something that would work for me. Enrolled DS in daycare shortly before he turned 2 and started working 3 days a week (12 hr shifts). He's 8 now and that is still my schedule. It is the best of both worlds for me. I get to have that quality "SAHM" time with him but also get out of the house and work. While we didn't need me to work for financial reasons, I really hated being dependent on DH for money. I am very, very much a "life outside of being a mom" type of person and I think when I was a SAHM I felt like I didn't have that. [/quote]
