[quote=Anonymous][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]

Once again I'm responding to pp who said she can't understand why you wouldn't want to spend all the time you can with your kids. That comment is what im addressing. [/quote]
