[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the PP with 4 kids.  I was trying to help OP with tips of how to balance work, kids and stress.  It is possible to do it, but as others posted it leaves little time for me or spouse- for now.  I get to retire very early.  Its all about tradeoffs.[/quote]

Not commenting on pp specifically, but I find it interesting how many women who have contempt for SAHMs think there is something radically different about "retiring early."  Only difference seems to be that your kids will be out of the house when it happens.[/quote]

Well, not working because someone else is working to pay your bills and not working because YOU'VE saved up the money to pay the bills are pretty different...[/quote]

Really, this is the sole difference in your view?  Because many moms who SAH while their kids are young can afford to do so because they had lucrative careers and put in their time before kids building a nest egg  Also, most do go back to work, and may even wind up working more years than those choosing "very early retirement.  Anyway, didn't mean to derail this thread.  Everyone has different priorities and differing financial situations.  Just strikes me as odd when someone who attacks others for taking time off then opts to leave the work force early themselves (and not saying that pp was doing that, but I have heard others do so).[/quote]

Exactly - well said.  [/quote]
