[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just wanted to add that now that my older kids are teens, I can’t tell which kids had working or SAHM parents when they were young. If we could have afforded to, I absolutely would have stayed home back then with my second. I had student loans, we just bought a new house and I had to work. Dh’s income increased significantly so I was able to stay home with my third.

I knew SAHM who had difficult babies. Several friends used to cry because their colic babies were so hard. Some of these difficult babies are now difficult teens.[/quote]

I agree that it doesn't affect personality much. I don't see a correlation with separation anxiety either as one PP tried to imply. Maybe you're all cherry picking your anecdata but I see complete opposite results in my experience.
Seriously, think about the kids who cried at first day of school or sleepaway camp and which kids went in happily looking forward to the experience. Moreover, which kids try to miss more school. You might expect one but it doesn't line up with reality.[/quote]
