This is interesting to meeven though I did not fit the "latchkey" profile.
I really found the part interesting that stated about taking having kids more seriously since waiting later to have them.
I will admit, I have missed working a lot recently. Although, as I suspected would be the case, I do not regret the decision, and am still so very happy I am here to be with Maddie all day. And I still stand by my whole reasoning that I would regret continuing to work and missing out on her younger years, and that even though it would be a tough time for us financially and for me to give up my career, that I would never regret deciding to stay home. And I am certainly finding that to be true! Even if I go back at a lower level and pay level, it will be worth it.

Hi
I felt like that also - about staying home or going to work - I must say the first year was hard and I had to think about my own identity . When I had the other kids I was right back at work and missed out on so much . I am so happy to be there for everything that Annalisa does . Also that I get to be there for the other kids after school every day . It would cost me so much if I had to pay daycare lol
Love the blog
I think your sentiment is similar to so many stay at home moms. The article was interesting. I'm technically a gen-y sahm, and my mom stayed home with me at a time when it was really unpopular to do so. I'm still thankful for what she did, and Maddie will always be thankful to you!
Hey girl! I worked the last 2 days just to fill in for someone and I really enjoyed it! But, I am like you - being home is so much more important. Maddie is getting so grown up!
