[quote=Anonymous]I was a SAHM for many years - it was hard when the kids were little, but DH always made time even if it was one night getting home at 7 for dinner and one full day on the weekend.  He always made it to weekend sporting events and school events, looking back, it wasn't always easy, but now he is an equity partner and college is paid for, our house is paid for, private school for two kids is paid for easily and he left the big firm a few years ago and started his own firm with a few of his partners - couldnt believe it, but he doubled his salary the first year and now works on his own terms.  Last year he worked a lot to get the firm going and made a ton - so he can coast a little this year.  He works from home a few days a week now and picks the kids up from school - does all the food shopping too which I love - we are a close family and our kids (tween/early teens) have a good work ethic which we are proud of (they are go-getters because it makes them feel good - they babysit, volunteer, walk dogs, cut grass, involved at school etc. - like the $$ but that's not the only reason - they grew up with me volunteering constantly and loving it and that was a positive I suppose. We travel a good deal now and it is fantastic family time - but our house and lifestyle is othwise pretty modest.  I guess what Im trying to say is that we are in our 40s and the security feels good (we are debt free and saved all the years we could only travel 1 week in the summer).  We both grew up middle class  and can help out our parents now.    Im proud of DH and I'd say it was worth it - but there's a hard climb before you can coast.[/quote]
