[quote=Anonymous]I am a SAHM who is not busy now.  Yes, I had a season or two of extreme business when my kids were little and even when they went to school - K-12.

Of course, there are other ways I am busy, but it is not a busy-ness with parental responsibility or responsibility of an employee.

Would have I liked to have more money? Absolutely. But, I do not want to give my time to earn more money. So I guess I have to make peace with that.

I am indeed living a leisurely life right now.  And I know that in future there will be periods when I will become very busy again with other family obligations etc.

I can admit honestly that being a SAHM has been far easier, fulfilling and less stressful than being a WOHM.  I loved my life as a career woman when I did not have kids. But, once my kids came along, I hated being away from them and I hated not having time.  And the guilt of leaving my kids with caregivers was enormous.

Now, when my kids are out of the house and I am in my mid 50s, do I want to go back to work? Absolutely not. We have taken steps to ensure that I will never have to work for pay. [/quote]
