[quote=Anonymous]Yes, not so much “intellectual stimulation” exactly, because I read books and articles and listened to interesting podcasts, but I really missed the feeling of “flow” that you get at work when immersed in a task for hours. Being a sahm was all little tasks with constant interruptions and made my mind feel like Swiss cheese. I wasn’t dumber but i didn’t have that state of deep thinking and it made me anxious and fried-feeling and more irrational over time. That said, logistics are for sure easier when the kids are little. I think SAH is great for the family but hard on the sahp. [/quote]
