[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I gave up a good career to stay home. I might get back to it one day but no regrets so far. I will say that when you meet kids, it’s obvious which ones have a parent at home. People don’t like to hear it but it’s true. Once, I met some really good kids and was so confused because I heard their mom had a career but then I found out that the dad is at home with them.[/quote]

I don’t think this is true at all and I’m a SAHM. There are definitely some very spoiled kids and parents work demanding jobs. When kids are not the focus, they will know.

DH and I both had demanding and high paying jobs when we got married and had kids. I switched from 70 hours per week to 40 hours to 30 hours to staying at home. DH earns a seven figure income and we did not need my income.

OP, there are a lot of options between where you are and being a SAHM. If you want a break, go for it. That is what I did but I ended up never going back. I had another child so juggling 3 has been a lot for me.[/quote]
