Whoa! The next door neighbor sounds like me.  I have a leisurely life, school aged kids, and I am a SAHM.  My DH is a high earner and any amount I earn will be in a high tax bracket and I will make 1/2 of what I earn. It is not worth it for me.   I really don't know how people do it all because it is hard.  [b]Kudos to everyone who manages to to it.  I am very impressed.  I also wish for every working woman - good health, great work environment, supportive colleagues, nice boss, being appreciated at work, time to balance other things and being well compensated.

I am a WOHM and I wanted to say thank you, 
I really appreciated this post after a long day (especially the bolded part).

Thank you for acknowledging how difficult it is & I wish good health & prosperity for yourself & your family just the same. :)[/quote]

You are quite welcome.  Parents are juggling the financial needs of the family as well as raising their families.  How does it become easy?

Everyone has a different reason for staying home or working. Right now, at this stage in my life, I do not have to work for money nor my kids need me 24/7.  I can say only for me, and only in my circumstance  -  physically and mentally, right now, I find being a SAHM far more easier than being a WOHM.  My family too likes for me to be a SAHM  rather than a WOHM because their mental and physical burden at home is less.

Who knows, when I become a SAH wife, I might decide to go back to work? At that time, my prayers for all working women, will be something I would want for myself too.

Well said, all of it.[/quote]
