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!!!!

And I thought *you* would be the type to slaver all over her success, as she is successful as far as money and income are concerned. My point was the even the very rich have trouble finding good childcare.
Please knock on wood. You are a very fortunate woman. There are a great many people out there who simply could not handle a high powered career balanced with the stresses of raising a family.

Funny, I see lots of men with high powered careers and the ability to raise a family and noone runs around saying how fortunate they are.
I am always amazed at the different standards for fathers and mothers and how it is so pervasive.
Really? I know plenty of men who consider themselves fortunate in their career and lifestyle balance. Many of them also could not have accomplished so much without good childcare and a supportive wife (whether she works or not). I also know plenty of men that have eschewed extremely high powered careers because it would have interfered with that balance.
