[quote=Anonymous]OP, I totally echo the responses telling you to SAH only if you want to, and if you’ll be proactive enough to build a network and life outside of your kids, whether that is joining a pool/religious group or something else. But it is kind of messed up for your DH to unilaterally decide his career comes first, which is probably a bigger issue at hand.. My mom was a SAHM and a bit of a martyr who quit working to allow my dad to travel overseas constantly, isolated herself, and eventually was overly invested and controlling of her kids. It’s sad, but we barely have a relationship today that’s beyond cordial, and only because I want my son to know his grandparents. On the other hand, my MIL also SAHM and worked part time later on, and had a life outside of her kids, and my husband and her are pretty close. [/quote]
