[quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP. Listen, I've seen it and it isn't pretty. Women need to realize that there are choices and trade offs and risks. I have friends who are SAHMs with husbands who support them and their marriages are awesome. I've also been the exact opposite.

If your marriage is not rock solid and your husband isn't enthusiastic about your decision to SAHM and you aren't 100 percent committed to it (and happy), you are playing with fire. Because I've seen this play. Wife gets bored, frustrated, lonely being with the kids all day, especially as they get older and don't need her. And is unhappy her career is derailed and she has to go down several pegs to get back into the workforce.  Husband gets angry, frustrated and stressed being the bread winner. Someone steps out either physically or emotionally. Or the resentment builds until everything explodes.

Usually right around the time those babies are in middle school.

It is so, so ugly. I feel like it's almost a public service to be like ladies -- check yourself and your marriage before doing this.[/quote]
