Who doesn't long to be a sahm. I love my kids but I like working too. I only work about 30 hours a week and my kids are in good hands with their grandparents. If I had to pay for daycare I probably couldn't work but I'm so happy I have great parents and inlaws. I think ill always work. Whether the money is needed or not. I wouldn't mind a more consistent schedule though. Where I work set days and times.

When I was working I never wanted to be a SAHM, but after the third baby I started being one. Now we have four, and I don't mind being a SAHM. I don't think I'm that great at it, but I try. :)
And I still think about working, but I know it would actually be more work if I had a job outside the home and four kids. This is the right thing for us right now. But it is not for everyone.

I'm basically a sahm the work I do I can take her with me
I love being able to stay with her and watch her grow
But I do get tired of always doing the same thing and I miss going to work and having friends lol
I do not miss what I did though haha
It's a double edge sword I think
I refuse day care till she can talk
I don't trust very many ppl

i actually loved both..i only stay at home when they are born til the turn 2-3 an old enough to go to school..i only went to work before a kid turned 3 thats when my 3rd child had just turned 1 i went back to work..thought i left him in good hands wit the daycare i was paying $225 a week for a b*tch to yell at him all day..he had a noise sensitivity problem an she yelled so much that when we turned on song or show where it was loud he had a fit..after that i said anymore kids i wouldn't go back til they were of school age..my last one just turned 3 last yr i went back to work..tho i miss the simple things like their field trips,helping them with homework,reading them a book before bed..but i know honestly if had to stay home all day 7days a week i would get  bored wit the same daily duties of cleaning,cooking,an watching stupid judge&talk shows..

I'm looking forward to going back to work. I love the kids, but I love my work, and I also feel guilty for not working while my SO does

I'm a SHAM and my husband can't work. And I am going stir crazy. I want a job and I'm looking for a job. Both my parents worked and I turned out fine. So I don't think I'll feel guilty for working. I just need to find that elusive job.

I'm the opposite.

I would not have had kids if I couldn't stay home and raise them.

Id love to be a sahm but we need the money. I'm on maternity leave but my work hours are 8pm-1230am Sunday To Thursday. DH is home so that helps! Plus it's nice to socialize at work
