[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I believe most working mom's wish they were SAHM. I think they are usually jealous.[/quote]

I might be a bit jealous for about 5 years when the kids are young and I wish I could SAH with them (technically we could live off just DH's salary, but we would be giving up a lot of financial freedom.) But once they're in school, what in the world would I do all day?  Scrub the toilets, prep dinner, and wait for my husband to get home?  No thanks.

Plus, as an attorney, I'd be so far behind professionally if I take time off.  Once my kids are in school, they will benefit from seeing two hardworking parents and we will be better off financially/be able to fund college and our own retirement.  And TBH, I was raised by a SAHM and barely remember anything from the first 3-4 years of life anyway, so it's not like her staying at home made some lasting impact.

Gosh, it would be less stressful on a personal level to SAH early on though!  If I did SAH though, it would be for me and not my kids haha.[/quote]
