SAH/WOH - Why?

I am sure this has been done before but I was wondering this in light of recent posts lately.

Why did you decide to sah/woh?

Was it a choice or something expected of you?

Was your plan to sah/woh though out or impulsive? Long-term or short-term?

That includes the front seat with the air bag, which none of the children in elementary school are large enough to sit in the front seat with an air bag.

Every car manufacturer and safety/health website that I had time to visit after I typed "children sitting in front seat" in google said that children recommended that children not sit in the front seat. It isn't just about the air bag. Due to the type of collisions that are most common, the front seat is more dangerous for children.

Based on your posts about why you need an suv and a new car every couple of years, how can you claim you aren't materialistic?

The third row has a shoulder belt in the middle, not just a lap belt.


It seats 7 people, two adults in the front and 5 in the back, all with shoulder belts.

Her children aren't *small*. Her kids are 8 and 10. Do I think putting her 10 yr old in the front seat with a disarmed airbag is unsafe? No I don't.
