[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that there are a lot of snide comment going on..most likely jealousy. I can SAHM because I made a lot of money and now my husband still does and we just don't need two incomes. It makes more sense for our family to have someone home--if I had my last job, I would be the angry stressed out mom that I hear often complaining on these boards. Frankly, I am happy-it's nice to go to all your kids events without a worry of getting fired or being just too tired to do it all. If your finances don't allow..this is a different story and I could see a partner getting mad but otherwise, it's a wonderful place to be. Call it lazy but really no because I am the room mom at two different schools, I get to volunteer on great projects, house looks great, I look great..we are all happy. When I was working--not so happy.[/quote]

We paid off our mortgage this year and are banking 100% of my net income, but I have no intention of SAH.  It wouldn't be fair to DH to be the only one with work stress, and it would be plain lazy and unnecessary. We've spent 10 years being full time working parents, all three of our kids are in full day school. The big difference is that working doesn't make me unhappy like it did you.[/quote]
