[quote=Anonymous]I SAH during the pre-K years as I flet that was a very important time to be at home. I had 4 kids in 4.5 years (not twins) so I can assure you I was not sitting back watching soaps. We didn't even have a TV as there was no time to watch it (well we had a TV screen but no cable).

Once my youngest was in school I could have worked as my life at that point was not stressful however due to where we live and after school activities I still wanted to be at home for before and after school so in the end I stayed home. I spend one day a week cleaning the house, doing the yard work, and other house related tasks or appointments are scheduled for that day, one day a week volunteering at the kids school, one day a week volunteering in another location, one day a week helping my elderly mother (taking her grocery shopping, to the bank, cutting her grass, etc) who lives an hour away and the last day I keep open for whatever didn't get done M-Th - usually a couple more loads of laundry, a bit of baking, sometimes lunch with a friend, weekend grocery shopping. It is still busy but not stressful. Our evenings and mornings are low stress and we get to spend a lot of quality time together in the evenings and on weekends. We have time to do sports and homework without it being rushed and overall it works well. [/quote]
