[quote=Anonymous]To the "I do all that and work full-time too" posters:  well, I would too if I had a job outside of the home.  Of course you can get it all done when you need to.  I have posted this before in similar threads, but I prefer having time to making time.  I have plenty of time and I like that... no stress about getting out the door in the morning, no stress about getting errands done, only fun family stuff at night and on weekends, no challenges when my husband has to travel for work, no guilt when I leave the kids on Saturday to go do something strictly for me, plenty of opportunity to travel to visit our family across the country for long periods of time, etc.

If you stay home when kids are in school, you have to figure out how to stay productive and challenged and busy and fulfilled without paid work -- that's easy for me.  If you work outside the home, you have to figure out how to make it to school-day activities, arrange for sick-day childcare, balance job demands with family needs, balance family time with "me" time -- that would be harder for me.  Could I do the latter?  Of course.  Do I prefer the former?  Yeah, so I feel lucky that's what I get to do. [/quote]
