Selfish on whose part... the children who will get to spend every day with their mother and learn more than going to daycare, you for having to teach your children, do the laundry, keep the house clean, and make sure everyone is okay or your husband who love to see his wife happy and the children well taken care of.
Do you understand? It's a sacrifice of your self to stay home and take extra care of your children that no other will be able to give.
We have done this for three years and to tell you the truth I wouldn't have done it any different. Yet I do want to go work on the weekends b/c I'm so frustrated at home right now. I do know being home is the best thing but I feeling guilty for every decision I make. That part of being a mother... right?
Good Luck and Enjoy your time right now.

PS I also have a 9yr old and stay home most of the time before he started school then start home full time after having my DD five year later.
