[quote=Anonymous]Okay, this is perhaps my bias but I think kids under the age of 5 are no walk in the park and if you are staying at home with 3 plus kids close in age that can be beyond a full time job. I assume it is financial and/or logistics and I can see why someone walks away from years of study to stay at home   I'm hellava impressed when I see a woman balance a career with four or more children.  And yes, that is a commentary on society that we don't assume a guy with a high powered career and four children is doing much of the child rearing.

Now, I'm jealous of the SAHM with young kids and a nanny and SAHM with one or two school age children.  I know that would be way less stressful than some of the bs I deal with day in and day out.  I wouldn't say I am angry or resentful.  It's like seeing someone with designer shoes - part of me wishes that could be me and part of me realizes I never prioritized either having a situation where I could buy designer shoes or if I have the money I didn't want to spend it on designer shoes.  With kids, I realize they don't appreciate you when they are kids no matter what you do so don't stay at home or WOH for their appreciation- you do it for yourself and what works for your marriage.[/quote]
