Did you make your decision to SAH/WAH/WOH ft/pt based primarily on objective/tangible factors, or with your heart?

CIO doens't work for all kids. Ds didn't sleep through the night until he was 2.5. (years, not months). There were times he was up, literally, 9-10x a night. We tried CIO. Didn't work.
Once we got tubes in his ears? started sleeping through the night ... sigh. Wish we'd known sooner.
Oh goodness are you serious? These are medical issues that do not apply to anything I am speaking of. I can't even believe that you would even go there. It isnt self righteous at all. When a child has a medical issue that is totally different. In my SIL case my nephew woke during the night because he could. He knew she would come in and lay with him or let him play a bit. Again, she has no one to blame but herself for that nonsense.
Edited to add: I think I clearly stated that the child decides he needs to be up at 2am. I think that should be clear that a child with a medical issue isn't deciding that he needs to be up at that hour.

Exactly.

Why is there no driving required? Do you think a SAHM stays in all day?
"I don't think its *harder* as a WOHM per se ... just different." ITA.
It's funny though, sometimes after a really rough night where DH and I both were up all night, he'd feel sorry for me being left with the cranky tired kids while he "gets to just go into work".
