[quote=Anonymous]If you don’t mind advice from an older mom (oldest in college and youngest in HS) I loved being a SAHM even though money was tight and we had to sacrifice in some areas. My plan was to stay home until K but I had 3 kids which ended up meaning staying at home for 11 years instead of 5. Then by the time the youngest was in K, we had identified that 2 had disabilities that required therapies. It just seemed easier to continue to stay home. I liked that it provided lots of opportunities to volunteer. I really enjoyed it and will never regret the time. But it came at a cost because I was out too long. I have been unsuccessful reentering the workforce and now my marriage is on shaky ground which is causing me tremendous anxiety. So my advice is go for it but have a firm deadline for return to work.
