[quote=Anonymous]I married late in life and had children in my 40s.  Up until then, I had developed a pretty nice career...blah blah blah.  To be honest, during that time, I had wished I had what some of my SAHM friends had.  A nice home in the suburbs, time to spend with their kids, freedom to do what they want during the day.  Instead, I was traveling all over the place for my job, which I didn't mind too much, but it was exhausting and getting old.  Once I had my first child, I hated leaving him behind each time I had to get on a plane.  My friends envied me because I had this awesome glamorous job that took me all over the world.

Fast forward to now...I am a SAHM.  Today I look at some of my friends who managed to keep up with their careers while building their families and sometimes think maybe I should have done that.  But then I remember the stress and think, well maybe I am OK as is.

The grass is almost always greener people.  But most of you are not willing to admit it.  Instead you all come on here to taunt the other side in an effort to justify your lifestyle (which I bet a good percentage of you second guess -- whether you are a SAHM or WOHM.

Let's all just breathe people.  Count your blessings, and stop the hate.  It is so toxic and unproductive.[/quote]
