As Padma said..nothing is easy or the...Hey Ramya..<br /><br />As Padma said..nothing is easy or the most perfect decision..<br /><br />but my theory to the whole thing was and is - at least wrt the financial part: U can earn all this money and much much more later on.. but u wont get back this time..they grow up fast...n become independent..and then even if u want to quit then...she wont need u next to her all the time.. And Dharma's theory has always been - u will adapt to live with whatever u have...And truly- over the last 1 year...we haven;t made any sacrifices in our lifestyle and is exactly how it was b4...in-fact we spend more for the kid-toys, books, clothes and have traveled (u spend double buying air tickets these days..)...eat-out often!<br /><br />And definitely SAHM is not an easy job.. u are working round the clock...which otherwise the parents/in-laws/baby-sitter would have done....and we wuld complain & find faults in their performance!!<br /><br />But again..there is no right or wrong... It is what u wuld pick from a box of chocolates :)...<br /><br />I would do as much as I want of one ...and move on when I feel like!<br /><br /><br />-Vappleofmyeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01793808583557366313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816833.post-15882097876659444782010-03-14T14:41:35.143-04:002010-03-14T14:41:35.143-04:00I am not sure if this helps.

You remind me of me so much...that'...Hi Ramya,<br /><br />You remind me of me so much...that's why i read your blog, I guess...<br /><br />I am only going to comment on the latest on your list, SAHM, as I have only now managed to successfully land in this dream job of mine-SAHM...<br /><br />I hate to admit it openly and I won't to my husband, but after having gone thru a Job/work lifestyle (nearly 10 yrs including grad school etc) I do find it extremely tiring to look after both my daughter's AND my husband's needs all day.(cook, clean, potty train ( I feel like I live in toilets all day), clean, fight about napping and finally, put up a happy smiling face to my husband when he returns!!!)<br /><br />It's not boring, but tiring to do all this work, all day,and by yourself, nice to have additional HELP!(Please)...About the cute phase...I have found that every phase was/is cute with my daughter...there was always a reason for me to be home coz she was in that phase...when she was 6 mos old she had teeth so she was cute, a year old i wanted to be home becoz she started babbling,and now my latest, she is 2.5 yrs old and she needs me ( my employer could'nt understand why )!!!<br /><br />Anyway, like i said it was my dream job and i got it and i am still complaining, (but then i always complain)...The point i want to make is, do what you feel like doing, there may not be enough reason to support it, but I'm sure every experience will be worth it!<br /><br />Good luck!<br />PadmaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
