[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes I would be happy.  My kids are my favorite people in the world and they have been since they were born.  They are now way grown so it's not really a current question for me, but when I did it I was happy.

I did have breaks, my H would come home and gladly care for our kids when I went out to do stuff in the evenings and on weekends.  In fact, he was jealous of me being the SAHP.  He wanted to do it but he made a lot more money than I was capable of making then.  Once they were in school that evened out somewhat.

We did not trust low paid daycare workers to spend long hours with our kids when they were very young.  It was important to us that we personally cared for our kids.  I find it hard to comprehend why others don't feel that way.  I totally understand that many people don't comprehend why I feel the way I do too.[/quote]

You sound like a lovely person.   :roll:  And I was a SAHM. [/quote]

:roll: Actually she is a lovely person.  And liking your children and wanting to spend time with them and care for them has everything to do with being a good mom and not necessarily being a SAHM.  And I was a WOHM. [/quote]

Thanks for saying that!  The most important thing is that my adult kids think I'm a lovely person and much more.  We get along great, are close but not tied at the umbilical cord, and they turned out just as great as I could hope for.  And I stand by my view that I loved the time I spent with them when they were children as well as now.  In fact, I think I am supremely lucky to have been their mom.[/quote]

Np. You said you got breaks. Op is doing 14 hours straight. That's like night and day different. That's why people keep asking about her DH.[/quote]
