[quote=Anonymous]My SIL had 3 kids, waited 8 years, and then had a 4th. She decided to SAH with her 4th, despite managing to work (sometimes full time and sometimes part time) up until that point. From what I understand, her older kids had lots of continued activities, so they still needed her, and the baby did, too. They have grandparents in the area to help, so my SIL can still find time to be with the kids individually. They are also more financial stable as her husband was promoted to his current position about 4 years before the youngest was born. FWIW, we have four kids and I work FT and it’s actually getting harder as my kids are getting older. Very much thinking of becoming a SAHP, but want to wait until the pandemic ends - it’s a crazy time to be making decisions.[/quote]
