[quote=Anonymous]You can get intellectual stimulation without a job. And I got way more meaning from being a SAHM. I was a lawyer in a law firm and it was somewhat intellectually stimulating but so meaningless. I was helping rich companies get richer - yay?! If I had a more meaningful career, maybe I would have missed my job more. But the benefits that having a SAHP brought to our family with 3 kids and the satisfaction I got from being able to spend so much time with my kids was so much better. There are downsides. In this area, people will look down on you if you stay home. And when you go back to work like I did a few years ago, you will have a much less satisfying job than you would have been able to get. But my youngest will be graduating soon and I am so happy that we made the choice for me to stay home through most of their childhood.[/quote]
