I have spent the last 6 years teaching primary school and have been a SAHM for 4 months now and I love oi! I would not swap it for the world. Sure there are times I miss my old job but only for a moment and usually only a particular aspect of it. I am amazed at how critical people become once I tell them I am a SAHM. One lady at my playgroup was telling us how she got a job part time in a school and wanted to know what everyone else did (which was odd cause most of us are SAHM's) and after that she would only talk to those ladies who worked, weird.

Anyway i love my DS and anyone who thinks that being at home is not work is not a parent. Its the biggest job of all because it's not just 8 - 5 it's all day everyday for the rest of your childs life. Hey if others think less of me then they can go jump.
