[quote=Anonymous]I've been a SAHM for several years. It has pros and cons.

Pros:

- I have time to shop for quality food and take time to cook delicious meals

- My house is clean and little errands are taken care of. Like taking the dog to the wet, or paying bills, or making travel arrangements.

- DD is thriving.  I have time to supplement DD's education at home, read to her, and take her to a number of extra curriculum activities and playdates.  Just being able to go to a park is very enjoyable.

- I have time to go jogging or swimming or classes at the fitness center.

- I have time to hang out with my friends, read books, watch a movie occasionally, to garden.

Cons:

- I spend a lot more time doing housework and child activities than on myself.

I don't get rewarded for it - I don get paid neither do I get recognition for what I do.

- My social status is low because the society doesn't consider my work "work". SAHM are looked down on.

- There is no security.  If something happened to DH or our marriage it would be hard for me to support myself given the gap in the resume.  [/quote]
