[quote=Anonymous]So many considerations here.  Do you feel that you have a solid marriage? Do you truly love your husband? How old are your kids? How stressed are you working?

I did resign and became the SAHP when I also become responsible for my mother’s care and I could not be a good wife/mother/daughter/employee at the same time (I felt 3 of the 4 was workable but the 4th was just not).  My boss was a miserable person so it was an easy choice.

Now, if it was another job with a different boss (I have had some GREAT jobs).  Or I doubted my marriage.  Or I didn’t have some responsibility for my mother’s care.  Or if my kids were older.  Or if I had other family help with the kids (yep - looking at you the only Indian in-laws I know that did not move close to help with their grandkids) I may have made a different decision.

Regardless, I have certainly not been bored!  As my kids got older I stepped up volunteering and took on leadership / board roles.  I am now getting a masters degree and LOVE being back at school.  I do feel badly that im not a good role model for my kids in that I couldn’t balance it all.  But, overall, I made the best decision for myself and my family as I could.

Is SAMP right for you OP? Only you can decide!  [/quote]
