[quote=Anonymous]I agree that it’s important for women to have their eyes wide open when starting college and settling on a career, but I was miserable being a sahm with my 2nd. We really need to be supportive of all choices. I sah for a few years while dh got settled in his career, then i went back to work ft for my own sanity right after I had my 3rd. Life was crazy the second year (1st year we had a lot of grandparent and neighbor help),  but then dh was able to get a remote job, with flexible hours, so he is there to meet the kids off the school bus every day. I will never have the career I dreamed of but it is a good balance. We did move to a lower cola to make it all happen.

I have never heard of “aftercare” at camps but my kids do go to some full day camps. I went to some as well, even having a sahm. I think these can be wonderful places to have child-led socialization and outdoor time (plus a break from screens)  - we don’t have the same culture these days where neighborhood kids meet up on their bikes and go out exploring together.
