[quote=Anonymous]SAHM for last 15 years.  My youngest will graduate in two and a half year.  I loved that I stayed behind. When they were younger I was very torn up for a long time about giving up my career, but my own need to stay at home with them was stronger.

Money is not an issue so I did not have a financial regret. However, I would like to go back to work once the youngest graduate HS, because not having the kids at home will be a huge vacuum for me.  I have excellent marriage and my DH will probably work for another 14-15 years.  He is encouraging me to take up some creative hobby, but I feel that I need to be able to go to an office and work or I will become very sad about my kids leaving.

In short, not an iota of regret for being with my kids and being a SAHM. I am blessed with a wonderful family and a loving husband and was able to spend the time with my kids the way I wanted to.  There was no negative financial impact on us by my not working.

Now, I want to think of a way to fill my time that I will enjoy after my kids leave, and I am planning to rejoin the workforce. The next couple of years I will be studying for some in demand skills and will take it from there.  [/quote]
