I own my own business and totally liberal but I would say ALL the years are best to be SAHM.  Esp with 2+ kids!

Physically it's exhausting prior to age 5.  It actually loosens up and I loved the 5-10 age but it is a lot of childcare esp during the week with school.

MS of 11-14 starts the hormones and active kids means a ton of carpools and driving.  The weekends are almost non existent and working during the week sucks.

From HS on - you really need to be there for your kids unless they are perfect.  I'm not talking about doing things for them and being around all the time but being accessible and aware of how they are doing.  It's a lot of mental energy.  From 11+ I would say that's the case.  Also, any learning disabilities comes out for sure during MS years and any anxiety and mental health issues as well so there's that.

It is so hard to balance a career and parenting.  Seriously.  Esp a high powered career and for 2 parents to do that with multiple kids is something I've never seen done successfully.[/quote]
I agree with you completely. My memories of all our adventures, my connection with them, all the help I’ve given them is all priceless. [/quote]
