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?

What? You have more patience that I do.

Wouldn't you say your authoritative style seems to work much better with your ds than your dd?

My nanny is authorized to spank my children.

If spanking had been illegal, I would simply have left Joey home 100% of the time for a year, regardless of the inconvenience to me.

Not everyone can afford to hire a babysitter or have a dh. That is a real simplistic and unrealistic solution.

Aren't we going a little dramatic here?

Just to avoid him possibly running away? WAY too inconvenient for me.

My 6 year old has no concept of how warm or cold 40 degrees is.
