Just wondering what motivated you to make the decision to be a stay at home mom. For my husband and I, it was the fact that while both of us were working, life was crazy, hectic and stressful to the point where it was affecting our family life negatively. Also the fact that our daughter was being raised by a stranger at daycare didn't sit too well with us (she was in daycare anywhere from 8 to 11 hours a day, depending on what shifts my husband worked). It's really tough sometimes making it on one income, even if we have to go without the extra things, but it's really worth it. We've had to cut way back - we don't go out, we buy only neccessities, money is really tight, we live in a small, old house and drive 10 year old vehicles and don't have cell phones, cable or anything extra like that, but being able to actually be there for my kids is worth it. What made you decide to stay home, what are some sacrafices you had to make, and what is your favorite part about being a SAHM?
