[quote=Anonymous]There are many good reasons to choose to be a SAHM, and good reasons to continue to work.  I currently work full-time, but would consider staying at home when I have multiple children not yet old enough for school.

What I can't stand, however, are all the people who say that they're "blessed" or "lucky" to be able to stay at home.   Really, if I continue to work, I'm not blessed? I really, really like the fact that, due to my hard work, I have relatively low-stress six-figure job with a flexible schedule and can work from home at least some of the time.

And I'm "blessed" that because of my financial contribution to the household, we can live a comfortable lifestyle (live in a good neighborhood and enjoy short commutes, for example) and my husband doesn't have to work crazy hours to support the whole family.  I'm so blessed to have a husband who is around so much for the family - oh, wait, that's because I pitch in financially to maintain a family-work balance we both enjoy.

Not a matter of being "blessed" - we just make different choices.  [/quote]
