[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The boredom and drudgery of childcare and housework almost drove me bonkers.

[b]Your poor children. But hey, whatever digs you gotta make at SAHMs to make yourself feel better.[/quote][/b]

I'm not the PP that your making a swipe at, but this is a reality for many women. Not sure why you'd get nasty.   Not everyone enjoys SAH.  I was a SAHM for a year and I really missed my professional life and career.  I missed the intellectual stimulation and social interaction that I got from my job.  Yes, I volunteered and yes, I found ways to connect with my friends while being a SAHM, but it wasn't the same.  I love my children dearly, but I am the happiest when I have a balance of career and family.  The solution for me was to go back to work PT - I work 3.5 days a week.

The OP sounds like she can afford help around the house and some of the ammenties that will make her life as a SAHM much easier, but for those of us who had to cut back on housekeeping and virtually every other extra to stay at home there was also a lot of housework and cleaning that had to be done. That can equal boredom and drugery for many.  But for some - like several of my relatives - staying at home is the equivalent of a calling.  It's something they've always wanted to do and absolutely adore.  Would just encourage OP to give it a try. [/quote]
