SAHMs - do you regret it?

[lolalolalola]

I was out of the workforce for 4 years. No regrets. You can always go back to work but if you’re on the fence, you really need to stay home before knowing if you like it or it works well for your family. It’s not a permanent decision.

I’ve been a SAHM for almost 15yrs. I was a peer of my husband professionally and I cannot imagine us both doing what he does. It just would not have worked with 2 kids much less 4 & to hire it all done would have eaten my salary and then some for many of the years. We are in a good place financially and turned out my kids have needed a fair amount of extra attention/time (1 dyslexic, 1 ADHD & 1 ASD). So yeah I don’t really have any what ifs... If I did try I’m sure I would have been a sub-par employee anyway...lol.
