[quote=Anonymous]DH and I both grew up with SAHMs when we were young (until we were in our teens). My mom went back to teaching and DH's mom started a WFH business.

I have been a SAHM for 19 years. I didn't know what life would serve up so I prepared to have a career by earning an advanced degree and licensure for my profession, but it's not in a particularly lucrative field. Once we had our first kid my salary barely covered daycare so I quit and we started a small WFH business so I could earn some money, but DH was doing so well in his career that we sold it within a couple of years and I've been a SAHM ever since.

At this point, DH will tell anyone who listens that he doesn't want me to work. His job is demanding, we have three children, and he needs me to manage our home and be there for the kids. He appreciates being able to go to work and never getting a phone call about a sick kid, etc. Granted this only works because he makes really good money.

We had kids a little later in life so DH is eyeing retirement as soon as our last kid gets out of high school, so for that reason - baring tragedy - I'm not sure I'll ever work again. [/quote]
