Most WAHMs that I know do Pampered Chef, Mary Kay or run small businesses making baby/children things (mostly slings, accessories, etc.).
I'm in the same boat as you. Desperately want to stay home with my little one because I know its best. But we won't be at that point financially for a couple of years.
This is an honest question, not meant to be obnoxious, just really wondering. If you "desperately want to stay home with" your children while they're young, why did you have a baby "a couple of years" before you could afford to do that? I just really don't get why people put themselves in this position.
