[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The boredom and drudgery of childcare and housework almost drove me bonkers.

This is me too.

[quote]I'll be the voice of dissent. I left my job to sah and have since returned to work. Staying home is HARD. You say you have no time to yourself now. That will only get worse if you sah, at least while the kids are little. I don't regret my time at home but am so much happier back at work, and looking back should have gone back sooner[/quote].

And this.  I SAH and couldn't stand it.  I loved being with my kids, but the cooking, cleaning, every single day.  day in and day out.  the grocery shopping, laundry, folding clothes, over and over again.  drove me crazy.  I thought my job was boring when I was in it, but once staying home for a while, I would have done anything to have my job back.

Consider an extended leave - I envisioned my life would be like it was when I took a week or two off, which was fun and exciting, playing with the kids, etc.  But the difference was the repetition of it all.  Just consider all the details of everything that has to get done that you may outsource right now, but would fall on your shoulders if you SAH.
