Can You Teach a Man How to Take Care of himself...or What?

My situation is as follows: I have been a SAHM for about 4 years now. It started with a relocation (my husband's job), I had to quit my job, when we moved, with all the demands of childcare and his demanding schedule it was kind of mutually agreed that I will continue just to be a mom at home. Well, I found some good and bad things about being a SAHM.

I know this question has been asked before and many other people have had to make this decision, but I need some advice/help. My daughter is pretty smart and mature for her age. I have talked to her teachers and the director at her daycare/preschool/pre-k and they think she is ready and will be fine. I think that, if she "passes" the test, she would be fine, I just have that nagging "mommy guilt" and I don't want to make the wrong decision....
