Would you quit a high paying job to be a SAHM?

    I always said that I don't think I would be a good SAHM. Right now, pre-baby I still think that. I'm also the breadwinner so right now I have to work. Maybe things will change when we have kids and my DH finishes school and maybe starts a successful business.

    I'm going to be the odd man out but I think daycare is good for our LO. He's learning way more than I can teach him, unless he wants to learn finance/actg. ;). At daycare he's learning sign language, Spanish, music appreciation, and getting great social interaction. It was awful leaving him at daycare the first day but seeing how happy he is when I pick him up makes me feel better about my decision to go back to work. He actually painted a fire truck the other day for me! How great is that to come home to!

    I don't know. Being a SAHM is a LOT of work. It takes a special person to be able to spend all day with their lo or lo's. If I had a really good paying job, I don't know if I could leave it to stay home. I would prefer a nanny to a daycare, though. Darn daycare germs...

    I agree about not missing many firsts at daycare. To me if she did something exciting there, usually she was really close to doing it with me at home anyway. I wouldn't be sad I missed it... I'd just be excited she did it and I'd look forward to when I would first witness it.
