[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn’t get the urge to SAH until my youngest was 4. It just wouldn’t have been fun before then. I left my job a few months ago and it’s pretty awesome now. They’re in school all day so I have actual leisure time! And we can do fun stuff together when they’re home.[/quote]

Well, I think wanting to stay at home only once your kids are school-aged is a lot different than wanting to be a SAHM to kids who are actually there all/most of the day. [/quote]

For me it has gotten much harder to juggle everything now that my children are in elementary school.  The school day is shorter, there are many more holidays, more school events in the middle of the work day, and other demands on my time.  I found it much easier to work full time when my children were in full day daycare/preschool.  I considered staying home briefly when my 1st was a newborn and was glad to have a job to go back to by the time I finished my 2nd maternity leave, but am again thinking about it seriously with a 6 year old and a 4.5 year old.
