SAHM or Working Mom?
Did you (or will you) stop working and be a Stay at Home Mom (SAHM)? Why or why not? Any regrets in your decision, like do you find yourself wanting to go back to work, or in the middle of a meeting do you wish you were home instead? What would you tell other mom-to-bes who are considering being a SAHM - do it or not?

Stayed home and loved it.

I've been a SAHM since 1991. I have three girls ages 16, 14 and 10. I didn't intend to stay home this long. I always figured I'd go back to work once the girls were school aged but the school system wasn't good where we lived at the time and I homeschooled them instead.(totally different topic there) I never regret being home with the girls. In my humble opinion, if you can get by on one income, staying home is the best and most rewarding thing you'll do in this life. You never miss the important things like first words, steps, reading outloud,etc. Your children, if you are consistent, will be well-adjusted, well-mannered and an asset to society. That goes for working moms too. However, there's no right/wrong way. It's got to feel right for you. An unhappy mommy makes an unhappy family. Blessings.
