[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Getting away from the kids as much as possible. Full day preschool for the oldest and part time for the youngest. [/quote]

Why even bother stay home?[/quote]

Perhaps you missed it in the original post where OP said that going back to work wasn’t an option. It isn’t an option for many people for various reasons. Childcare for two kids is expensive, for one. Many people lack the support that is needed to be a working mother. [/quote]

Wrong.  There is absolutely NO reason a woman must stay home, especially if she’s unhappy.  If you lack the “support,” then divorce your husband and use the alimony and child support to pay for support.  Staying home means OP isn’t contributing to a retirement account.  If she’s someone who stays home nevause of childcare expenses then that’s a serious mistake because it means she isn’t wealthy enough to not worry about retirement.  Her husband is using her for unpaid labor and she’s unhappy.  Telling her she has to stay home is criminal.  [/quote]
