[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]OP here. I just find working to be stressful and I find that I am often anxious and irritated when at work, and then fine at home. I dread Mondays and love my weekends and free time. There is so much I could do with my free time if I were to stay at home.

I also think being a stay at home wife (no kids) is good too. I did that for 2 years when we moved for my husband's job and I was unable to find work. I loved it. No stress. I compare that time now with working full-time and I think I was happier when I was a stay at home wife (no kids).[/quote]

Many people feel this way, OP, yet they still go to work. Most of them do this because doing what you are thinking of doing [b]is short sighted and irresponsible.[/b] You're counting [b]on a luxury[/b] that is very precarious, especially in this economy. So many things could happen...your husband could lose his job or become disabled. Sadly, marriages end, for a lot of unforeseen reasons. It isn't so easy to just get another job if you have been out of the workforce for awhile. PPs who think differently have not been job searching lately. Being a responsible adult means being able to support yourself and it just isn't smart to leave that to chance.[/quote]

For us it was a well thought out, responsible decision that was a sacrifice not a luxury. Your perspective on SAH makes it sound to you like it is irresponsible, and short sighted but for us and many of our friends, it was a well thought out decision, SAH is not irresponsible.[/quote]
