I taught antenatal classes, worked on MSLC's, ran support groups (paid), worked freelance, which meant I earned more per hour than I ever did being employed, and dictated my own working conditions. Being a SAHM meant that I used more of my talents - in a more constructive and self-fulfilling way than I have ever done - as an employed person, and still was there for the kids when they came home from school. I think that time was the nearest I have come to " having it all " . And as I said before - that is why I am intending to go back to it. If you want to be with your kids - then do it.
