[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Absolutely!!! It's sad all my child missed out on, the outings, the activities, homework help, extracurricular, all because mommy is too busy working. The only benefit for my child is she will have a great work drive. In the single digits, she already talks about the jobs she will have, desire to make money, etc. The only benefit for me personally is complete lack of boredom, and my self worth is high. But that only benefits me, not my child. [/quote] I would argue that there is a benefit to your child as well. You are setting a good example of living a balanced life. My mom was a SAHM and was the mommy martyr type who complained a lot about "sacrifices" that she chose to make. Completely consumed by her kids. I am still working out some complexities from that dynamic.[/quote]
