[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve been a SAHM for 20 years. When DH and I were dating, I was clear that I wanted to stay home with the kids at least until they were in elementary school. He supported my decision. I had a good career before kids and I kept up professional certifications while SAH, but DH and I quickly realized how much easier life was with me being at home to handle appointments, snow days, school breaks, and all the other time sucks. Add in an aging parent with complicated medical conditions, and I never went back. Occasionally, I regret not staying in the workforce but financially we are ok. I’ve lived long enough to realize that time is our most precious asset and I loved the time I spent at home with my kids and wouldn’t trade it for the world. I recognize that others make different choices and that’s okay. If you want to SAH, make sure you have that conversation before getting serious with someone. [/quote] Good thing your kids had one parent who wanted to spend time with them. [/quote]
