[quote=Anonymous]It depends on what your alternative is. If the alternative is daycare for 40-50 hours per week, I would say SAHM with a loving, happy, engaged mom is 100% better. My alternative was: DH and I flex our work schedules so that we only need 25-30 hours of childcare a week (like 11-4 or 11-5, much of which is naptime), we hire a pretty good nanny, and my Mom visits us frequently to help “after hours” during busy work times. I was happy with this arrangement and it was vastly preferable to giving up my career. Nanny folded laundry during naptimes so our weekends were clear.[/quote]
