[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see people on DCUM rag on SAHMs that don't go back to work  once their youngest starts school, but honestly OP, your question is exactly why I continue to stay at home.

Some of the PPs who have spread sheets and have to "cobble together" care for their children from multiple sources--it sounds so stressful.

Unless I really LOVED my career, or having me go back to work literally meant the difference between paying the mortgage vs. living on the street--it's just not worth it for my family.[/quote]

Like with most things, it seems stressful and hard at first but then you get better at it.  I now know all the places that have childcare during those random teacher work days and my husband and I share time off.  It honestly sounds a little babyish to cop to, "It just seems so haaaard."  Most things worth doing in life are hard but then you feel proud of yourself after you try and you get it!  (Isn't this what you tell your kids when they are trying something new?  Sorry if this sounds babyish to reduce things to this, but, honestly, but it is an appropriate response to a babyish look at this issue!)  Anyway, I also do not go to work just to pay the bills.  I go b/c I am an adult and I want to be a contributing member of society beyond what I can do just within the domestic realm.  [/quote]
