I disagree. I SAH when my kids were little. The reason was, I only made 50K/yr and it made no sense for me to work to pay for daycare.  We struggled those years, it sucked! [/quote]

I am in the same boat, but I worked anyway.  To keep my foot in the door, to remain in the professional world, to show my DD it was important.  It was your choice to struggle.  [/quote]

I'm sure your daughter was thrilled that her life was made a run-around because of your misplaced feelings about what' s important.

The PP made the right decision and her kids and husband benefitted by having her home, rather than creating extra stress on everyone to work, only to have that salary go to daycare. There would be no net gain on a financial level for her to work, so alleviating the run-around stress at home made more sense. It's hard work, and it sucks sometimes like anything else, but it's important work in my eyes.[/quote]
