[quote=Anonymous]"I’m in a very low wage field that’s very taxing, demanding and unpredictable so it made sense for me to stay home to cut the childcare costs." You answered the question with this statement. When it costs more to work (not just financially, but also in terms of time and stress for your family). I SAHMed for a decade in NOVA, and we weren't rich. We just lived lean. I am glad I had that time with my kids. The school systems there (FCPS, etc.) can be very, very stressful for K-12 kids. My kids got to come home after school on the bus. Seeing their relieved "I'm almost home" faces coming home from the bus made it worth it to me. No regrets. I would do it again.[/quote]
