[quote=Anonymous]Okay, I hate to admit this, but I actually had the opposite experience.  My mom is a SAHM and is now a Stay at home Wife even though there's no kids left in the house.  When I was little, I appreciated her being there, but remember feeling some disdain towards my mother by the time I hit middle school.  I feel bad about it now, but for years I felt like our lives could have been better (financially - I know, what a shallow teen I was)  if she'd at least worked part time, especially once we were older.  Now that I'm a SAHM, I'm worried that Karma will come back to bite me.  I'm actually worried that my children won't respect me . . . I feel like I have to go back to work by the time they start school, and I'm not looking forward to it.  It's going to be hard to have the energy to cook, clean, and play with my kids, and take them to their activities and still work full time.  I know some moms do a great job at this - I just don't know how they do it!  I wish I had been less judgmental of my mother.  I hope that my children value the time and quality of life that I'm giving them now while I stay at home more than I did.[/quote]
