For all the stay at home moms, yes I'm one of them. I have one question, do you plan on going back to work once all of your children are in Elementary school? Or do you like staying at home and have decided to never work again? I am just curious, my husband and I have talked about it. I am mainly home just for my kids, to be here when they come home from school is nice, but, I tend to get bored easly, so I have decided once my 3 year old enters into Elementary school, I will be going back to work. I have thought and thought about this, my husband is fine if I decide not to work or if I decide to go back and work. We are financially stable so I can choose to stay home if I want. I would be working so i won't be bored, while the kids are at school all day long. I do plan on working part time, so i can be home when they get home from school. I'm not the type to sit around and do nothing all day, right now my kids are home half the day at least my 5 year old is, so I have her, and my youngest to be home for. I just can't envision myself sitting here all day long with no children around, going gee what do i do now, ain't gonna happen.
I'm done rambling, waiting for replies!!!!

Wow. thats a pretty sexist way to look at things. I've known several primary school teachers who were male and did an exemplory job. Why would men be somehow *better equipped* to only teach in later years?
You've come up with some pretty good flamebait in the past, but this one is a doozy I must say...

You keep talking about "negative consequences" re: a workaholic parent. I simply want you to quantify what those consequences are, which you have yet to do.
I'm not taking the posts personally, I'm simply pointing out my experience w/the matter at hand (a workaholic DH) and my experience happens to contradict your opinions. Moreover, I don't think that being a workaholic precludes being an involved parent, hence my pointing out DH's involvement in DS's life. You've stated more than once that you think it is impossible to be an involved parent when working as much as DH...I'm merely pointing out all that DH does w/DS to prove that workaholic parents CAN be involved in their child's life.
It's not all about me, but when writing from my personal experience, you're going to hear about MY personal experience. I don't presume to know what goes on in other families, but I know what happens in my own home.
Lol, considering the recent influx of 30yo women teachers having sex with 12yo boys, I dont think my elementary school child having an opposite sex teacher would concern me too much!

Totally OT, but what kinds of things did you and DH do for fun while you were dating (ok ladies, no obvious remarks here)?

........i am not in favor of male elementary school teachers because elementary is a mere first step to an entire world of education that men are better equipped to teach in later years."
Why are men better equipped to teach older children?

How exactly would the SAHP do that? Drop the kids off at at the office when the 10 hrs is up?
It's not practical, Felicia. And since I'm not earning any income, my "job" is take care of our kid for however long it takes DH to get his job done.
