[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Working mom here. Look, you ladies are getting pretty ridiculous if you REALLY can't think of ANYTHING interesting or productive to do with your time if you suddenly had the means to quit your jobs, like you won the lotto or inherited a bunch of money from some long lost relative. Come on. I understand why you might be annoyed by some of these posts but doubling down on this particular track is the height of absurdity. [/quote]

Well I did stay home and I prefer to work. Most of the more ambitious moms I know did the same.  Hanging out at thr gym all day and planning school fundraisers doesn't make me happy, and it is how most of the sah of older kids I know spend their time. Oh, add in gossiping about other moms, many truly have returned to high school.

Forty years of retirement seems a bit much.  I work a compressed schedule and have lots of time to travel with my kids, which I enjoy,  I have an interesting job that I enjoy.  Having personally experienced being a sah, It wasn't for me.  However, if it soumds fabulous to you, I hope you get a chance to try it.

The point is, there are other things to do besides being a gym rat or planning school fundraisers. PPs mentioned a few.[/quote]

Go out to lunch with friends?  I can do that and work.  Golf?  No thanks.

I have seen the reality, most sah mom really do nothing more than take care of kids, volunteer at school, and go to the gym.  There really is no hidden glamour.  People think it will be as fun as a vacation and then the reality is much different.

Anonymous posters trying to make their life sound perfect don't change the reality.  Bit I am glad they are happy with their choice, assuming they truly are.

Last point, it is fun to be fortunate enough to be financially well off even if you are not a sah.  Personally. I feel less guilt spending money when I've earned some of it.[/quote]
