[quote=Anonymous]Kids are pretty self centered. I don’t think they think about their parents in that way. When my kids were little, I was a SAHM for a couple of years, and DH was a SAHD for a couple of years (not planned, just the way things worked out). They were 5 and 6 when DH went back to work. Now, they are 9 & 10, and I work PT while they are in school. I am pretty sure that they think I sit outside their school all day and wait for them to come out. If I get home late one day or have to work on a weekend, they have no idea where I went, and have to be reminded that I go to work during the day. They have no clear verbal memories of DH being at home with them full time. My takeaway is that as long as your kids aren’t stressed out, you can do what you want. Now if you are financially stressed if you dont work, or the whole house is overextended and exhausted if you do work, then your kids will notice. Otherwise, do your thing. [/quote]
