[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm curious because DD is 5 and has been saying her dream job is to be a SAHM. We're pleased with this but don't know where she got the idea from. I did not stay home, both of her grandmothers still work full-time (though they stayed home for years when their kids were young), and all of our family friends and neighbors are 2 income households. She's had a nanny since birth who she loves, and DH and I have worked from home since she was several months old. Our conclusion is that she must have many friends at school with SAHMs.

Those of you who are SAHMs, at what age did you know you wanted to be one? Those who dreamed of being a SAHM when you were young, did you end up as one? As a child, I didn't dream of being a SAHM, though I wouldn't mind it now.[/quote]

Have you met the parents of your 5 year old child’s friends? I have a five year old and know (at least in passing) most of her classmates’ parents and all of her friends’ parents. Same for my two younger children. My kids have wanted to be firefighters, the president, a ballerina, a princess at disney world, and someone who works at Goldman Sachs. The amount of thought you are putting into this is bizarre. [/quote]

I have 3 kids. One kid has always wanted to be a doctor since he was little and still wants to be a doctor. My other two kids have wanted to be paleontologists, teachers, inventor, etc My middle school kid wants to be a crypto billionaire. He basically wants to not work and make a lot of money. That’s his current goal. [/quote]
