[quote=Anonymous]I did this for awhile. I’d left a job that wasn’t a great fit but kept our fantastic nanny FT. My DH worked a lot but honestly the first month of being SAHP I relished the freedom to accomplish whatever I wanted to do each day without having to factor in my kids’ schedules. After a month of bad-job detox the utility of full time care meant as above I could volunteer, take one kid to an activity and leave other two at home. I managed household to free up Nights and weekends for stress free family/couple time. We are far from wealthy but I did the non-work thing for always though a friend started bringing her DD 3-4x a week that mitigated the cost somewhat after 9 months or so. Except first month I was always busy with stuff that had to get done. I’m sure I had lunch dates and purely indulgent hours but I truly feel that that time set me up for the successful business I started at the end of this time. My DH never questioned doing this, I absolutely recognize I was lucky, and would not judge anyone doing even if all it did was contribute sanity.[/quote]
