[quote=Anonymous]My kids are only 4 and 2 now but I've started planting the seeds for me to stay home when the kids reach school-age, or at least cutting WAY back. I really like my job and I make good money, so it would be a big adjustment but I hope I can do it. I know I would be a terrible SAHM now with my kids all day so I don't do it currently and we're socking away as much as possible. We have an amazing nanny and we outsource a lot - cleaning, meal delivery, etc and I still feel overwhelmed with house things and kids in the evenings and weekends. Both DH and I have long commutes and I even WFH 2 days/week, but it's still a whirlwind. When they're in school, I could be a much better "housewife" and I actually enjoy cooking and cleaning! I could also volunteer and I won't miss any school or sport events. We're so busy now, with a 2 and 4 YO, I know it's just going to get worse when you factor in sports and other "big kid" things.
