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

I'll be 45 when my youngest reaches adulthood. But yes- it all depends on what ones career *is* and what ones goals are. For me, it's not important to break any glass ceilings or achieve X in my career. I just want to enjoy my time, help people and live a fulfilled and happy life with my family being first and foremost in my focus. (Not that yours aren't for you- just a different perspective...)

... So if that's the case, would you say that celebrities could be helping to raise your child as well? What about the *bad* examples? Are they helping to raise your child due to the example set of what *not* to be like- if your child one day says 'Gee mom, I don't think I want to be a serial killer' or something like that- would you say that serial killer helped raise your child? LOL

***The hormonal difference comes in the let down. I know when I was bf'ng (I bottlefed a lot longer than I bf'ed) I would get a rush of feelings that I did not get bottlefeeding.***
See- I never experienced that. I had let down (my supply was extremely scarce, but since there was *something* there was obviously a let down) but still- never experienced any different feelings or anything like that. I'm wondering if the hormones just weren't there for me- thus the issues with my supply. (Despite near constant feeding, good latch, etc.)
***I am in no way stating the bonding was better at all b/c of the bf'ng. I mostly ff'ed my first. My bond with both my kids is exactly the same.***
That's all I'm getting at ;) That the bonding aspect is no different when it comes to quality. Of course the *function* of breastfeeding/bottlefeeding are different- but there's no reason to debate -that- LOL!
