[quote=Anonymous]Why is there a notion among many people (including unhappy SAHMs as well as many WOHMs) that staying at home means you will be bored, unfulfilled and "not using (your) brain"? I am very happy and love my life. In fact, I am happier than ever. I spend a great deal of time reading books and sites on parenting as well as other interests I have. I have more time to pursue those interests now, instead of spending my time in a car commuting and/or at work. And let's be honest, people - you might have an ideal job, but a large percentage of most jobs is grunt work and not always exactly what you'd like to be doing. FWIW I do know what I'm talking about - I graduated from Berkeley and had a great career as an engineer in Silicon Valley for 15 years before becoming a SAHM. Any other fulfilled, happy SAHMs out there (besides the ones I know IRL)? [/quote]
