[quote=Anonymous]It’s hard either way OP. SAHM is so much harder than my job because DH does not make enough to hire regular help so some days I’m drowning in two kids and basic household upkeep. It has gotten easier since both kids are in elementary, now I can actually stay on top of household stuff, get some down time, and always be the one to deal with picks up and aftercare.

It comes at a sacrifice to my own mental health sometimes as I do miss the adult engagement. But I grew up with dual working parents and I know my parents tried their best , but they were always late to picking me up and always so stressed. Sometimes they took out their work related stresses on us and the house was always so tense. I vowed to not do that to my kids and get consolation when I am able to always be on time for their pickups and see their big smiles.

OP if you can’t be a SAHM take consolation in the fact that you still have a little world of your own to escape to when you are at work, and remember often SAHMs are jealous of working moms![/quote]
