[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The kid doesn't want to hang out with mom all day starting at about 2 1/2 - 3 years old.  My 3 year old is dying to be in daycare with the other kids.

Really being a SAHM is pointless after about age 2-2 1/2 b/c of this but the SAHM will not tell you that because they need to justify themselves.  [/quote]

Maybe your child didn't want to be with you but most kids at 2-3-4 are just as happy with their parents.  My child would pick my husband or I over preschool or day care any day.  At 5, yes, he likes to be with other kids but if I said, hey, do you want to go to school today and let it be an option, he'd 100% of the time pick us.  I don't need to justify my not working.  My children and family are my priority and me begin home, able to take care of things is beneficial to all as well as me not going to a job I hate daily.  Maybe your comments are because you feel guilty leaving your child at day care every day.

At this point, in all reality, I can't work as we have too many daily appointments, but even without those, it is about quality of life.  You cannot replace the early years or that foundation you give your children, which will help with their overall success.[/quote]
