[quote=Anonymous]"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. "

I'm saying that there are substitutes. and good ones, so the PARENTS can do other things besides childcare.  And you are right, I can't compare to other moms. I have a best friend who is a totally devoted SAHM and she truly cherishes her children, to the point of neglecting regular exercise and maintenance of her own body (haircuts, etc.). She would have major resentment if she had had to spend 40 hours  or more a week away from her children when they were young. You sound like you are more like her.
