[quote=Anonymous]I’m kind of bitter that I used my SAH years when the kids were young and now I have to work full time financially. Being a SAH to babies/toddlers/preschoolers is SO hard. So hard. Dealing with tantrums and poppy diapers and zero alone time…it was draining. The parents who say older—- you essentially get 6 quiet hours to yourself 5 days a week. Yes the teen years are hard, but with all that time for self care and the kids can wipe themselves and help with chores, it’s just not the same. So…my answer is do it when you want, but don’t compare it to a SAH of young ones not yet in school. It’s an entirely different ballgame. [/quote]
