[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve always felt like the majority of women who want to SAH hate their jobs or aren’t big earners. I know there are exceptions but that’s how it’s played out in my social circle. I am not at all judging— I think people who want to SAH and can should. [/quote]

+1. And the higher-income ones have workaholic husbands. I simply don’t see many well-educated, ambitious women dropping out.[/quote]

When I was in grad school and started working, I could not imagine staying home for kids. I didn’t even like kids. I thought women who stayed home were not good at their jobs or lazy. When I had my baby, I have never felt such overwhelming love. I hated going back to work after my extended maternity leave. I eventually switched jobs to an easy schedule when I had my second. Still didn’t feel like I spent enough time with my children and I literally outsourced out everything possible so I could spend time with my kids. Now I’m at home with three kids and love it. I’m so proud of my kids. I love how often we can travel. Everyday we can do as we choose. [/quote]
