i chose sahm! big sacrifice because its like taking ten jobs instead of a conventional paid one with neverending shift since before pregnancy. in all honesty, pretty good so far but will struggle financially someday because of it. regardless am grateful to stay at home with baby and see through these first few years at least then replan and refinance in the near future.
same... but i held on to my work until retrenchment & havent found my way back since
