[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been both and I will give the advice I always give on these threads: become a SAHM because it's your calling and you really, truly want to stay home. Not because you hate your job or are experiencing burnout. Being home is a different kind of hard, make sure you fully understand that before leaving work. Also think through the implications on your marriage.

For me, it didn't fit (I SAH for four years). Now I work part time for myself which is the best of both worlds IMO. [/quote]

+1. You can talk to a financial advisor to understand the short and long term financial implications. I would consider the following:

1) You will be the main caretaker 100% when kids are not in school. That’s a lot of time. Do you want that?
2) Would you consider trying to find someone for a few hours a day so that you have coverage when working and during your kids vacations and holidays you have some help (private schools have lots of vacations).
3) Will you be happier in this new situation or will you be trading bad situation for another?[/quote]
