[quote=Anonymous]I chose to become a SAHM when we had children because I wasn't happy in my career and childcare costs were so high. I love my role in the family and wouldn't change it for the world, but it has taught me that I should let my daughter choose the path she is passionate about. My parents forced me to change my major from a creative one to business and I wasn't cut out for that world. When my kids are older I plan to work part time at something I'm passionate about or go back to school to be a teacher (I already do freelance work every few months which I find gratifying). In the meantime, I am passionate about my hobbies and share them with my children. There are tough days, but I feel lucky to be able to stay home and grateful to my husband for valuing what I do.

I hope that my daughter is also grateful that I stayed home when she gets older, but trust she will be independent and intelligent enough to realize there are so many other paths women can choose and that it is a wonderful and empowering thing to have that choice. Being a SAHM mom doesn't mean that kids can't see you engaging in hobbies or organizations, having intelligent conversations, talkimg about previous work and what you plan to do in the future, etc.[/quote]
