[quote=Anonymous]I SAH because I want to. Period. I want to be the one caring for my children. I want to be the one making their lunch and putting them down for naps and, when older, meeting them at the bus/school pickup and getting the daily download right away. I think they like it too but that doesn’t mean I think kids who don’t have that are harmed. I know plenty of bright, well-adjusted daycare kids. And if their moms are happy then good for them.

But it has been the pleasure of my life (although still very exhausting and stressful sometimes.) But it fills my cup and I already miss some of the time together that is lost as kids naturally get older. I just love it - the same way someone may profess to love working. I just never felt that way about working and always knew I wanted to be home with my children. I will be forever grateful it worked out for us with my husband maintaining a sane work schedule as well. Sure we could have been financially richer if I kept working. But that was never as important to me and my husband was supportive of that.[/quote]
