[quote=Anonymous]Yes. My SAHM was constantly busy doing housework -- cooking, cleaning, laundry, errands, chauffering, etc. There was a certain level of stress and resentment about her unpaid work. I didn't want that to be the primary undertone of my relationship with my kids. The time I spend with them now is time where I'm mostly focused on being with them, so that is important to me. I see the point about self-absorption, and that is true. However they absorb things unconsciously even at a young age. If you're confident and gain satisfaction from your work, regardless of whether that's at home or outside the home, they will feel that in a positive way. [/quote]
