[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is 100% true even if stay at home moms love to pretend it’s not. Because their life is just sooooooo hard. [/quote]

Uh yeah man. I do this because it’s easier! Obviously! Why would I make my life harder if I didn’t need to??[/quote]

This. I chose to stay home so we could have a more relaxed life. I had the best of both worlds by being able to keep a hand in my career through occasional freelance projects for former colleagues but otherwise just focus on my family. I eventually went back to work FT when the kids were in ES. What I saw with friends and coworkers over the years with the stress of handling babies/little kids + demanding jobs was not at all appealing. I had the ability to not do that and was happy with my choices.

I don't get SAHMs who say their life is harder or equally hard as a 2-career family. For the most part, no it's not. If it is, why are you doing that? But some people feel like they need to justify the choice by saying it's so hard.  I have no need to be a martyr. I chose an easier path and was happy to do so.[/quote]
