[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I, personally, don't think there is any substitute that comes close to a parent interaction with a child. And selfishly, I wanted to cherish every moment (I can already hear the groans, but its true, sorry.) Some will call it an "over glorification" of the role of a mother - but for me - well, I wouldn't trade the past 7 years for anything. "

For the CHILD maybe, but I didn't even have my first child until I was 34 - there was, and is, a lot more going on in my life that would be gone if I'd SAH for 7 years.  I cherished moments with my children more because they weren't 24/7.

Of course, "for the CHILD", who else?  I had my first @ 32 - not sure what the age has to do with it?  Are you saying this to point out that you were already established with a career?  I am happy for you that you cherished the moments you had/have with your DCs.  But don't assume that you cherished them "more" than a SAHM - how could you possibly know that?  If you know enough about yourself to know that you may have taken the time with your children for granted if you SAH, that's one thing, but you cannot compare your experience to others and make assumptions.
