Heart vs. Head: The work status decision
| Tue, 01-17-2006 - 1:03pm |
Did you make your decision to SAH/WAH/WOH ft/pt based primarily on objective/tangible factors, or with your heart?

Of course it's a better plan. A better plan than one in which I cannot SAH. The *key* is it's about *me* not *you* or anyone else's planning or financial status or *anything*...

Nope. I'm not trying to prove it. Although, since we're talking about proof. the studies don't *prove* anything either. They show a correlation; not a cause and effect.

It isn't just that I don't like the way they are done. They way they are done cannot be used to show cause and effect. Only correlation. I don't think correlation is always strong enough evidence to prove a point.

" says, "Navy makes a very strong statement." I guess so. It says, "I'm boring." Or, "I'd like this job here at the bank.""

i dont see how sah prevents the parent from at least at times having to force the seperation. with all of my kids there have been things i have needed/wanted to do that was inappropriate for them to attend, and with each additional child there have been more things.
i have immensely enjoyed my children since i became a sahm, but no more than i did when i was a wohm.
here is where i part company with most of the sahm's on this board, to the point that one nut thinks i hate sah, i dont feel sah in and of itself is ideal, and i feel the same way about woh. i dont believe that there is one thing i do as a sahm that i didnt do as a wohm. i do things at different times, and i spend more time (although not nearly as much as i would have imagined) doing certain things. i really dont think my kids care is they go to the library on wednesday morning (in the case of the little one now) or on saturday morning. and i dont know how many hours of playing trains it really takes for a kid to be satisfied, but i know how long my patience to play trains is, and it didnt change when i became a sahm. if i were to go back to work tomorrow the biggest stress i think i would encounter would be how to chauffer kids around. so maybe i sah because it makes chauffering the kids around easier - im just kidding there.
