[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"I have a graduate degree, and I SAH. I would be lying if I said I never felt like I was wasting that degree, but right now, at this moment, I'm doing what makes me happy, and therefore, my family is happy. That's what matters to me and our family. "

Isn't life about more than happiness? But more to your point, I believe there are multiple ways to happiness and of course you should SAH if that's what's best for your family overall. Our family is predicated on dual full time WOHPs - baseline.  [/quote]

I'm curious...what is more important than your family's happiness?[/quote]

Responsibility. If I could "SAH" (put in quotes because there is no one home for 32 hours a week to SAH with), I'd be thinner and more relaxed and undoubtedly happier. But I would be letting my husband and children down, and totally wasting my work experience and education.  Doing the grown up thing is more important than being "happy."[/quote]
But can you at least agree that reasonable people in the exact same position as you may choose to do the opposite of what you're doing?  Or do you see that as impossible?  [/quote]
