[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it’s normal to feel guilty at first (I did at least and I’ve talked about this with other SAHMs who agreed) but you get used to it.

One reason is that my husband wants me to do this. Similar circumstances to the poster above with the alpha guy - has a big job, makes a lot of money, frequent travel, demanding hours, etc. etc.

Also comes from a traditional background and feels bad for kids who are stuck in daycare all day. His words not mine. He often tells me how glad he is for our kids that they get to be with me all the time. He calls me the family cruise director because I’m always arranging outings, activities, playdates for the kids. I keep them very busy and I know he values that because he tells me straight out.

So there’s no reason to feel guilty.[/quote]

I think a lot of it has to do with this.  It's if the husband would do it anyway, doesn't care to be as involved with the kids as mom is, is happy bringing a paycheck, etc.  [/quote]
