Along the lines of last week's topic, this week another topic was suggested about the guilt of not wanting to be a SAHM, whether you are or not.
Personally, I don't know of any SAHMs that don't want to be one. It's a choice and also a privilege for many. It is a lot of hard work and takes a ton of patience and commitment, among other things.
I think if I did not want to be a SAHM, I wouldn't feel guilty about it. Everyone needs to figure out what is the right thing for their family. If mom needs to work outside the home, whether it be an actual emotional and personal need or a financial one, it is probably the best thing for their family for mom to not be a SAHM.
I am going to add another question to the mix for SAHMs.....do you ever feel guilty for BEING a SAHM?
In short, my answer is no.
