[quote=Anonymous]I’m a SAH and you should definitely not do it if you don’t want to, you will hate it. It’s both leisurely and incredibly grinding. The kids are fine either way, completely fine. I’m of the opinion that taking care of small children is a 2 to 3 shift job, so even if you SAHM you need some childcare to be happy and balanced which makes it even more expensive. People often think oh, well, I’m already doing that many shifts so I would just trade my current work one for childcare and it would be the same. It kind of is but you lose certain things you might be getting from your work time (like time away from your children, speaking to adults, stimulating projects (at least sometimes), sense of accomplishment).
