Do you think a SAHM should go back to...

Do you think a SAHM should go back to work once the kids start school?
- Absolutely, why shouldn't she? There's no reason why she shouldn't.
- It's up to her & her family.
- No, not really. What do the kids being in school have to do w/ her working?

You really can't separate the two as they go hand in hand. If it weren't for my income, I wouldn't work as there would be no benefit from my working. It's not working itself that is better. It's what comes with it. The same cannot be said about SAH. There is no general statment SAH improves (fill in the blank) and that positively impacts kids outcomes. Yes, there are situations where SAH is an improvement but that's because of personal limitations.
As for you being better than a nanny, how do you know? A trained nanny might just know things about child development that you don't so spending SOME (not all as this is not a replacement situation) time with a trained and experienced nanny just might be of benefit. We have found our dcp to have been a benefit for our family because of her experience and knowledge.
