[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not a SAHM but I can't understand why you would want to have kids and NOT be with them or have your partner be with them as much as possible?  I grew up with a SAHM and coming home from school to see her was such an amazing, internal, substantive part of my life.  I just can't fathom how you could have that option and reject it.  [/quote]

There's a happy medium. I love being with my kids, but they need outside influences as well. Teaching them to exist in a bubble helps no one. Love comes from different sources.[/quote]

Well of course. I wasn't homeschooled, and I did lots of activities.  But knowing my mom was home and that I could spend those extra hours every day around her meant so much to me.  i look back now and am so grateful. [/quote]

Me too. Only on DCUM does having a SAHM equal having no outside influences and living in a bubble. These are probably the same people who will tell you daycare is preferable because babies need socialization, as if SAHPs never leave the house.[/quote]

I don't think spending all my time with my kids is best for me or them. That's the part of pp's post I was addressing. No need to be defensive.[/quote]

Why would you think staying at home equals spending all your time with the kids? Women have a lot of things they can do besides have a paying job or be at home with the children. Hobbies, volunteering...[/quote]
