...It's an old one but I stumbled across it and it just resonated with me. Maybe it will for someone else too.

Thanks ... I have a feeling this will be me if I ever get the chance to go back.

I completely agree that the grass is always greener but I will say this: to me it's sad when someone wishes they could have it one way but just can't make it work. I am a SAhM and its very hard work and we really pinch pennies BUT I also wouldn't trade it for the world. I feel like anyone who is kind of stuck being a SAHM or working when they really wish they could do the other, no matter the sacrifices really deserve some hugs. I would be so much sadder on the other side. I don't think any of it is easy but some people have no real choice in the matter and those people get extra hugs from me no matter what their preference is.

I agree with many of the sentiments in this article, and I also agree completely with @MrsMccarthy: I'm a part-time working and student mom who stays at home fairly frequently and while I miss my daughter so much when I'm away and miss adult conversation when I'm home, I also am so thankful that I am in my particular situation. I know I would be extremely unhappy if I was a fully stay-at-home mom with no childfree-work time: it just isn't for me. But I know lots of moms who work out of financial neccessity and would love to stay at home, or who stay at home out of financial neccessity and long to work, and I think that's definitely got to be so, so hard and they deserve lots of hugs and understanding and love. Because even though some days I miss one or the other, I am thankful that I'm in a situation I choose/want to be in--some moms don't have any other option and, if they did, would choose the other!
