I Love Being a SAHM

My DD is now 6 and we are TTC number 2. My plan was to go back to work after she began Kindergarten, knowing we would be in need of money for fun reasons, but the basic bills would be paid. Well, she is now in the 1st grade and we want another baby. DH and I both both agree that I should stay home again with this one. Basically I would only be working to afford the gas and daycare, anyway, and we both rather have me raising the children. I understand families that need daycare, etc, and I am not saying anything bad about it. It was just a personal choice for us to have me stay home. We have made sacrafices as far as new "toys" etc but that's not important to us. I have always been told that while I am 26, I am an old soul or that I belong to the 50's. I love the idea of the hubby going to work, and I stay home being the mommy. It may sound silly I know, but I have never in my life heard some one say, " I wish I worked more and spent less time with my children", I have, however, heard plenty of people say, "I wish I had spent more time with my children while the were young." Being a SAHM is completely a personal choice, but I wouldnt want it any other way.
