It's impossible to quantify. When I think of what I left behind in corporate... which is like, hardly ever, I breathe a sigh of relief that it's behind me. Sure, I worked with some inspiring people - but mostly not. I did inspiring, meaningful work in clinical research- but mostly, not. I had a fabulous wardrobe. Money to spend. But... It just doesn't compare to what I have now. Half the income, yes. But, the love/bonding/fun/investment is priceless. I've always felt like raising my children is my role. Not something I want to delegate. Anywat, I'm really enjoying these comics and the comments, too. Bottom line is... those who question our choice to be SAHMs/breastfeeding/attached parenting advocates are most often feeling guilty about their own choices. So brush their projection off. But still, it IS annoying!! Peace out! Eileen. Our family IS paying us: in the enrichment of our souls. It’s impossible to quantify.
