hello everyone, i'm a 30 year old sahm of 3 boys ages 7,5,2. I've been a stay at home mom since my pldest was born. my question is how do i get over the guilt of maybe perhaps going back into the work force. I feel that i would'nt have the time that i want to spend with the kids(quality. i feel like everything will fall apart when i go back to work, the kids are doing so well in school, the house is always clean. my goal is to try and save up enough money for daycare while i go back to school. my husband has always supported the family financially, so otherwise when i start back to school we would not be able to afford daycare. what do you think?

Your kids will be happier with a happy mom! If you are not happy, then neither will your family. You will bring the family down too.
I know how you feel though. I have a 14 mo old boy that I will be home with till almost preschool (I am in school working on my masters). I plan on having our 2nd child when I am almost done with school and going back to work after I am done breastfeeding. I will probably feel guilty for staying home longer with one child and not the other. I hope this helps.
Take care.
