[quote=Anonymous]I went on personal leave when my kids were in elementary for awhile, so not a SAHM officially (though I was when my kids were very little). Here was something unexpected: my conversations with them weren't as deep as when I was working. I was really looking forward to the time off, and I did enjoy it deeply, but that was a surprise. I had more conversation, but it was more shallow. Of course there were lots of benefits too and I don't want to downplay that, but I would consider those expected so not OPs answer. I guess I remember saving my deep conversation for my WOHD. Maybe a bit of distance was required for deep conversation. I don't know. But that was an unexpected development.[/quote]
