[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.

I think a mom’s high self-worth benefits children, too, especially daughters. You could have a high self worth as a SAHP, but either way it’s good for kids to see and experience. Plus, you can’t think of any benefit for your kid? What were they doing while you were working, maybe playing and making friends? Maybe learning the valuable skill of struggling through difficult homework and figuring it out? I’ve been both, at home and working outside the home, and it’s so obvious to me that both have pros and cons.[/quote]
