Kids as an "excuse" to stay home

No one would likely ever admit to this...but what percentage of women who stay at home, and have no plans to ever return to the work force, or to do more than work PT...stay home because of the kids, but also for the major fact that they simply don't want to work?
I don't love my job every second, and there's definitely jobs out there that I don't think I could get out of bed for every day. But the idea of never working again, and being completely dependent on my spouse...kind of blows my mind. I realize not everyone's of the same ilk, and one's not better than the other.
I do wonder how many of the women who go on and on about how great it is to be home with the kids, are primarily just relieved to not have to punch the clock every day in addition to being mom.

I have a couple of questions.......
If it's your choice to sah, why do you woh?
Why do you think that it's okay to go around spewing your moral superiority for having a choice to sah (when others can not afford such a choice), but it's wrong for your friends to point out to the kids that *they* can afford an ipod when *other* families can not?
Do you really believe that you've had the choice to sah?

again,please stop with the assumptions that my choices are more superior than wohms whose choices require two incomes.
"....it would be nice though to hear that other standards of living,choices are based on more of an income than mine does though.
