Has anyone given up work as your children got older because they needed you more more involvement in their lives, that nobody but a parent could do for them than they did before? Did you find it really hard to take a new identity as a choose-to-be-SAHM rather than a professional? I find it really hard to think of relying just on DH's income, although he says he'll fully support me if I want to stay at home or take several years to find a new career direction, I still feel like I'm sponging off him. But it would be easier to do more things (stuff I'd like to do with them) with the children if I weren't working.

Giving up work *because* DS is in school, how awful is it to be a SAHM?
