[quote=Anonymous]This happened to me. Eighteen year old me would be shocked and horrified that 38 year old me is a SAHM. Lol But, that being said, it’s actually a really nice fit for for me. I am a tightly wound, highly anxious person. Super type A in school and later at work. I was very unhappy but didn’t realize why. I was also really bad at juggling my baby and work and I felt I wasn’t doing a good enough job with the baby, who was, after all, my top priority. Anyway, when I stopped working, that alleviated a LOT of stress. In retrospect, I was mentally unwell and obsessed with work. Not working allows me to be a much more laid back, go with the flow, happier person. For me with my particular circumstances (high anxiety, DH makes a lot of money) not working is the best thing I can do for my own sanity and the happiness of our family. YMMV.[/quote]
