[quote=Anonymous]This has certainly been educational.

My friends (mostly not in DC or major metros) are just ordinary people.  Not a single one has ever been on a private jet, never mind owning one.  They about uniformly live modest lives.  Among the moms, there are ones that work because they have to, and ones that work because they want to.  Among SAHMs, there are ones that do it because they want to, and ones that do it because they have to.  The reasons for their decisions are disparate, but rarely made without a lot of thought.

What I have found is that while there is often more angst about lost time among those that work (especially if they have to), there is similar amount of angst about financial problems among the SAH moms.  There is no utopia, unless you’re exceedingly wealthy, in which case, your choices will likely not have dire consequences.

Personally, I work, and I want to work.  When I retire, I will still need to do something that keeps my brain occupied.  I’m just thankful to be in a place where I have choices.[/quote]
