Re: Stay at home parent?
I think it depends on the personality type. I'm the type who could NEVER stay at home. That's just not me. I'd make him stay home before I would. I like going to work each day. I'd go as crazy as Britney Spears if I were to stay home.
I had a neighbor growing up who is still a SAHM--- her kids are 10 and 14. I've never seen her spend a minute of time with the kids, she was forever on the phone (standing in my parents driveway and often blocking them from getting in...... it always took a honk to stop her from tresspassing).
There's still ways to cook homemade food without having a SAHP. I can't eat many restaurant meals and convenience foods regardless (due to a food allergy). It just takes different sacrifices. My career is very important to me, and you couldnt pay me all the $$$ in the world to give it up.
