[quote=Anonymous]It's really not either/or. Lots of women leave the workforce for a year or two and then go back. Mist SAHMs are temporary. The desire to be home with your kids when they are little is real, biologically driven, and dies have some benefits if you can swing it financially. That benefit dissipates as kids get older and by late elementary, at the latest, most families are likely better off with an additional income due to rising costs of everything. And then there is individual variation. Some people enjoy being home with young kids, others don't. There's no right or wrong there. If you hate the toddler phase, your kids are likely better off with a professional caregiver and a happy mom. If childcare where you live is insanely expensive or options are really limited, you might not be able to get the care you want without a SAHM. It just depends and everyone makes their own choices.[/quote]
