[quote=Anonymous]I don't know.  You are probably better at juggling since you have more kids.

We only have 2 kids. I stayed home starting from when the youngest was very young.  We were MC then and we were able to economize on things to also get weekly cleaners and household help.   Even with support and fairly comfortable financial situation (my pay was not needed to pay the bills), I found it very challenging to remain at home and take care of every thing that needed to be taken care of.

I also supplemented and enriched my kids at home through their school years and it took an enormous amount of research and prep from me to be able to do that.  I wanted to maximize the benefit that my kids derived from being an educated mom at home and wanted to give them a leg up in their education, EC activities, health, socialization and mental health/strength.

The amount of time and attention that your kids need does not diminish from baby and toddler stage to HS Teens.  In fact in some ways the kids need more support and guidance through the tween and teen years, but just in a different way.
