[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of people posting on this thread are former SAHMs who were home with young kids, and now have school-aged kids. But the real question is why do some women work with young kids (and miss spending time with them) even if they can afford not to? For me, it was because I had an extremely flexible job, an involved DH, and a ton of family help, which enabled me to reduce childcare hours to 25-30 hours a week (of which 10+ hours was spent in naps). If I hadn't had this, I would have quit.[/quote] I am the other side to this coin. I would love to go back to work, even though we have a one year old and another baby on the way, because even though we don't need my salary I prefer to work for all the reasons people listed here. However, it's not possible with in our current situation and will have to wait until the kids are in school full time.[/quote]
