[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From my personal experiences, as a parent, I'd never want to miss the first moments the kids come off the bus or in the door from school or big event.  [/quote]

That means more to you than first steps, first words, first foods, baby laughs, etc.?[/quote]
No question. It's not about me and my memories. It's what's much more important and impactful for the kids.  [/quote]

DP, but why wouldn't it be more important for very young kids?  [b]Because they can't verbalize those memories?[/b]  They still have them.

As PPs have said, middle and high school kids (and elementary) still need engaged parents who know what's going on.  That doesn't translate to SAH, necessarily.[/quote]
I don’t remember taking my first steps, speaking my first words, or laughing as an infant and who was there with me when those happened. No one does. But I do remember my mom always being there for a big hug when I got home from elementary school on the bus and her chaperoning my field trips and seeing her beaming smile as I looked into the crowd at my soccer game. Because, you know, brain development.

Parent being there for infant milestones = only the parent remembers.
Parent being there for older kid milestones = parent AND kid remember/consciously understand.

The choice is easy.[/quote]
If you have a choice, this post sums it up best. [/quote]
