I am extremely grateful that I don't have to work right now. I admit I am a bit selfish, I SAH for me. My son did great in daycare for his first 6 years and I know my daughter would too. I know they aren't any better or worse off because I'm home. But I'm a much happier person, much less stresed and that makes us all happy

Ali, I'm right there with you. I'm grateful that I can stay home and finish school and not have to do work + school like I did for my bachelor's degree. The mom part is just a bonus (and sometimes a curse )
Yes! My DD is a very particular sleeper, I am so glad she can take her naps at home and we don't have to drag her out of bed super early to make it to daycare on time. Of course, I have many other reasons for loving SAH, this is just one of them.
I am not even a sahm yet, but I am a sahw for the next two months before baby arrives. Either way, I just feel so grateful to have this opportunity. I was raised by a single working mother and I know how hard that is on the whole family. I am happy that I am keeping it simple and just taking it slow. I feel much more relaxed and focused and I know this will help my baby and husband more than I ever could while working full time.?
Thanks for being here ladies. I love coming on boards and getting ideas from all of you.

Yes, I am SO?everyday. It also helps that I live right across the street from the school where I used to teach.
I look out the window everyday as I'm changing DD and thank my lucky stars that I'm here with her at home, rather than over there working!
