I sure do value being able to go wherever whenever, take time to do whatever whenever, but in the end theres no let up. With a 9-5 you got no money worries, no serious ones I mean. Work for yourself and youre taking gambles with absolutely everything you own, day in day out.

Well...not, with the 9-5 job (let's make it more like 7-7, if we include the commute and the overtime put in for all the nasty deadlines) you've got no money worries;
But with the "stay-at-home" thing you obviosuly don't have much of that either - maybe the husband DOES ! - becasue if you did, your "stay-at-home" butt would be at work, trying to reconcile family finances and the "mommy" calling. Wouldn't it.
But as long as you can afford to stay at home and NOT work in the public sphere (only for your own household and kids!), THEN you probably only need to worry about the milk bottle, the burps, the diapers and the like.
I'll take that over the corporate hell any day.
