[quote=Anonymous]Being a SAHM was the best decision for me because of a number of reasons-
- my relationship with DH and state of marriage.  I am married to the love of my life and have a super strong marriage
- DH makes a lot of money, we have a lot of insurance, we do not have a pre-nup, I am fully in control of the finances, we jointly own everything
- my kids are cute, healthy, smart. They thrive on all the attention DH and I give to them. They make us very proud. 
- I loved EBF, and we did not believe in sleep-training or CIO.
- DH and I like to do things together and spend time with each other. Having one SAH parent makes it easier for us as a family to travel. 
- We outsource chores we don't like to do or that saves us time. We do not want to outsource parenting
- I hate getting up in the mornings. I am fine if my days are unscheduled because I am able to function well in an unstructured day too

BUT, all the arguments that has been made as to why one should be a WOHM is absolutely 100% valid too.  I am all for women working and encourage everyone who can do it to go for it.  It protects women from being in bad marriages and poverty. It also fulfills those who don't know what to do if their time is not scheduled or who feel anxious, depressed etc if not working. Also, if women want to use their education to be in the work-force, that is also a great thing.
