[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in my early 50s and am basically a SAHM (I do the very occasional short work project a few times a year). You just have to own who you are fully. This is me, full stop. Message: DEAL WITH IT. Don't hide, don't shirk, don't explain it. Just do it, always moving forward.

If somebody doesn't like your "choices", well that says more about them than it does about you. Don't let other people's opinions live in your head rent free. If somebody says, "You're a SAHM? I could never do that" simply say, "Well, you don't have to." Then change the subject.[/quote]

Or when people say they could never SAHM with kids you could tell them that it does take a special kind of person to embrace and be successful at nurturing and appreciating the wonder and delight of infants and children.  You could tell them that you are sad and sorry they aren't able to do that but maybe someday they will manage to develop those skills if they try hard.  In the meantime they could just work at some job and let the professionals maintain their children.[/quote]
