[quote=Anonymous]Ditto the pp.   I also have a sahd.   He is between jobs and has been so for 16 months so feel like staying at home IS his job.  It works for our family in so much that I have a dam ding career and I am happy to have him at home to handle the day to day.   Does he love it?  No, he gets bored.   He is frustrated that he is not as an equal or greater financial partner to me.  Do the kids love it?  Yes.  He is a good father, very involved in our school and their activities.   I do honestly feel pretty left out quite a bit of the time which is hard not to translate into resentment.  He is looking for a job regularly and when that happens I am sure I will miss having one of us home.   I was the SAHparent for a short time and really didn't enjoy it. we have had great nannies also that helped hold our family intact and on schedule but it is nice to have a spouse so available to our kids needs 24/7.     Ultimately, the perfect balance would be two flexible careers that allowed
Both of us to have equivalent time career focused and family focused.  In the past ten years, that has shifted from him to me and I cannot say I can imagine that we can both have that at the same time.   We are trying though.   [/quote]
