[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a stay at home mom of school aged kids. I don’t work because I don’t have to and don’t want to. There are other reasons but that’s the most powerful one. I love not having a boss or restraints on my time or annoying paper work or go workers or entitled clients to deal with etc., etc. Most jobs are kind of a drag.

Let’s face it, how many people would continue working if they won the lotto? Not many. Most people would devote their time to hobbies, leisure, socializing, travel, volunteering etc.[/quote]

+1. I have a part-time job now because it's a dream job and something I want to be able to do when my children are grown and out of the house, but I stayed at home for years when they were small and I loved it. Everything was easier, not just for me but for everyone. Even working part-time is more stressful. [/quote]

+1. I'm an O-5 officer's wife; he's in a field with significant bonuses, and once you add in the housing allowance and free healthcare, we're easily DCUM MC (not UMC, though!). With all the military moves, uncertainty about his schedule from one month to the next ... so much easier to be a SAHM, but I'm highly educated, was able to find part time "mommy track" work in my field, and I'm not ready to give up on working in my field forever. So, we keep the stress, but believe me, neither of use really WANTS to work.[/quote]
