I know SAHMs are always told cautionary tales, so here is our situation. No debt, secure job with pension, retirement is set, lots of insurance, strong marriage, healthy sex life, no pre-nup, happy & healthy family.

I may go back to work after the youngest leaves the nest. She is currently in HS. I will have to see what I will do when the time comes.  As a SAHM, it was not as if all my years were easy. I had to sacrifice and leave a great job to raise my kids the way DH and I wanted. And while being at home with the kids was very rewarding, at the same time it was  relentless. I had some hard years when the kids were little and money was tight.  Now, that the kids are grown up and there is money in the house, I feel that I deserve a more leisurely and relaxed life.

No idea what I will do next, but I am quite ok being a SAH wife.

Don't you get bored? My husband makes 3x what yours makes and I currently have a very leisurely life. I spend a lot of time reading, working out, and watching Netflix. It's pretty boring.[/quote]
