[quote=Anonymous]I ended up deciding to be a SAH parent when I realized I just couldn’t handle all of the work responsibilities on top of the home responsibilities. I would never have made this choice if i didn’t trust my husband completely. I was pretty successful in my own profession and making decent money, but he was making 3 times as much, so my net contribution did not really change anything. My biggest reason to consider staying in the work place was for health insurance. My husband left the decision to me. I decided that since money was not a reason to work, the constraint was time and how do I want to spend my time on this earth. I decided to devote myself to raising my kids and making the household less stressful and more fun. Work is highly overrated IMO. I had an established career and did not need to prove to myself my own professional worth. I don’t know if it made any difference in the outcomes for my children. They might have been very successful anyway. But for me, my life was way less stressful and more satisfying.[/quote]
