[quote=Anonymous][quote]NP here. I'm a WOHM.

I work not to accumulate the most money possible, but to contribute to financial security for my family. [b]If you do not need to work for your family's financial security, do not like your job, and your spouse is on board with you staying home...I don't see a problem with it.[/b] Who am I to judge? If your family's financial security and/or career aspirations involve you returning to the workforce, then think of a plan before you leave the workforce.[/quote]

+1  I worked because we would not have been able to live without my income.  Plain and simple.  If your choice is about eating (no private schools or fancy vacations), you work.  The vast majority of women work because they need the money.  They also wish to have children and they should not be denied that.  I don't love my child less than anyone else.  I am not going to let anyone else judge me as a mother.  I only have to answer to myself and I am totally fine with the choice I made.  My child loves me and is not visiting his old daycare workers or spending holidays with them or anything else.  He calls me and talks to me and his dad now that he is an adult.  He says he enjoys our company.  Maybe he's lying?

The fact that you have a choice about staying at home and not working is a luxury.  A big one.  If it works for you, great.  If it doesn't, do not feel shamed about having a child if you want one.  [/quote]
