[quote=Anonymous]I am in a similar position. OP and can't stop thinking about quitting to be a SAHM too. Three things have stopped me from pulling the plug:

1) My two kids are in an excellent preschool. Expensive, ubt really great they are thriving. They are experiencing and learning more than I could ever teach them as a single care giver.

2)My current job, while not perfect, does have the advantage of being flexible. I have the type of job that SAHMs returning to work would strive for- 100k salary, flexible hours, unlimited work from home, can easily take time off for snow days/ sick days/etc.

3) I do not have ANY family in the area, nor friends (in spite of trying. I have tried and tried.) I fear I would become too isolated. I don't want that isolated/lonely feeling in me  to have a  negative affect on my kids.

Still in my heart of hearts I would rather stay home, and might just do it anyway. I do know it is not all rainbows and unicorns but it makes me sad to be away from them and miss these precious years.  [/quote]
