[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll be the voice of dissent. I left my job to sah and have since returned to work. Staying home is HARD. You say you have no time to yourself now. That will only get worse if you sah, at least while the kids are little. I don't regret my time at home but am so much happier back at work, and looking back should have gone back sooner.

You might just need a different job. That was the case for me. I know you said there aren't many jobs here in your field, but maybe you could look in related fields. [/quote]

I actually loved my job, didn't make any money at it (a pittance in the terms you are talking, OP) but I did regret leaving it. I was never able to get back into my field at the level and salary I had had previously and ultimately ended up changing careers.

Although money is clearly not a factor in your case, and wasn't in mine, if you are in a field that doesn't have a lot of movement or openings you might think more carefully about leaving it behind in case you did want to get back in to it, although you don't sound blown away by your career path and have the means to make a change and pursue something else, I suppose.[/quote]
