[quote=Anonymous]I SAHM when my kids were little and now working full time when they are teens.

It was hard back then and it’s hard now.

I think SAHPs with school aged kids have the best deal because they have a huge break in the middle of the day to shop by themselves when it’s not crowded, prep dinner before the busy time after school and REST when they need to. So part of me wishes I could have done that…I’m exhausted most of the time.

But I’m glad I went back to work. I feel like it would be hard to encourage my kids to do well in school and apply for challenging colleges and work hard at getting a good job when I’m playing pickleball and having long luxurious lunches while my dh is working full time and my kids are in school full time. Then when they’re done with a long school day staying on top of them to do sports and homework, like a second job altogether. I want to show them what working hard looks like and I’m grateful they see my efforts.

Ultimately you need to donwhat YOU feel is right. There are many options. [/quote]
