[quote=Anonymous]I would LOVE to quit and SAH. I hate working. Hate it.

Of course, I have a child already, so I wouldn't be a stay-at-home wife, but I'd love to SAH when he's in school too.

I'd have time to cook, to garden, to sew . . . I'd love to have enough time and energy to actually complete my sewing projects quickly. I'd prob end up selling things at street fairs and on Etsy. I see things all the time that I'd love to get involved with and can't because I have no time or energy: schools need volunteers, as do programs like CASA or DV shelters. Helping DV victims is a passion of mine and if I didn't have to work, I'd be free to advocate and get involved in programs.

I know what I love doing, but what I love doesn't pay jack. So sometimes, it's not a matter of "just find a job that you love" Maybe being a household manager for some wealthy family would be my dream job? That's not exactly a career that's easy to break into (or one that pays well enough to live, at least at the beginning), not to mention, it would be all-consuming and difficult to have my own life. A nanny? Thought about that too, same issues.

I doubt I'll ever SAH, I've been left with no money before and won't EVER be put (or put my child) in that position again. BTDT, sold the tshirt to keep the electricity on. But I can dream . . . I'd love to work even just PT. I hate being the sole breadwinner and stretched so thin, for a job that while it's semi-satisfying, isn't really what I care about or think is important in life.[/quote]
