[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 734358, member: 3493"] I know mid-way through my first maternity leave that I was going back to work. I loved my son, but I worked SO hard for my career and to make money to support myself and my family that I was not going to give that up. As he got older and as I had more kids, I came to the realization that being a stay at home mom was just not in my make-up. I despise doing arts and crafts and playing with sand and goop, etc. I never liked those things when I was a kid and I didn't begin liking them when I had children. I hated the PTA, being a class mom and the like. So, I went to work and became the "dad" and H stayed home. It worked for us. I was a cub scout den mother, which I loved, for all of my boys. I tried being a Girl Scout leader for my D, but their rules were so onerous. i could not take off from work to go for their training - boy scouts did theirs at night and on weekends. [/QUOTE]
