[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would you wait so late in life to have children then turn them over to someone else to raise?  Think about how much time you really spend with your children if you work full time at any age...  [/quote]

Oh and BYW, I have been home since 6 months after my first was born and I wouldn't change a thing. 3children now, elem./middle/  [b]Sometimes I think it would be easier to work full time outside of the home because at home moms work 24 hours a day.[/b]  If work is your thing maybe you can do some at home work but fair warning - it is tough.  If you can swing it financially and you want to be home my advice is stay home.  It goes by very fast.[/quote]

Try it, then. I assure you it is much, much harder, unless you, too, compress all your housework/cooking/homework help/soccer driving into the post-work hours. Speaking as a former SAHM here, not someone who thinks she knows about a life she hasn't led.

OP, I agree it's a personal decision. Just couldn't let that comment slide.[/quote]

Having done both too, I think WOH can be easier depending on childcare.  If you have daycare, WOH is harder.  But if you have a nanny or the equivalent who can drive kids around and do some of household chores (laundry, groceries, etc. . .), WOH is easier than SAH.[/quote]
