What would YOU have to do to SAH?
| Fri, 02-13-2009 - 5:09pm |
If you're a WOH/WAH mom, what sort of "downsizing" would you need to do in order to afford to be a SAHM? (SAHM defined here as not earning any money)
For me, I would have to put all our non-essential possessions in storage and move in with my parents.

When I was pregnant with my 1st child almost 15 years ago, the plan was for me to go back to work.
I think that's because a lot of the women on this board don't have the mindset that its desirable for children to have a father they barely see because he works 7 days a week.
I think, at least for me that is, the presence of one parent does not make up for the absence of the other parent.
