This can be a funny ha-ha to your post about the nosy people who wonder if/when your husband is returning to work.
The Kindergartner just got home from school In his back pack is a class book. Each of the 28 students fills in the sentence and draws a picture. The pages are laminated and the collated and bound and sent home for all the families to read. The topic is: "When I grow up, I want to ..."
There are kids who want to be dancers, policemen, builders, doctors, sports stars. And one ... who wants to stay home when he grows up. And he drew a picture of himself looking quite happy in a house with five kids (the number of kids in our family).
I'd like to copy it and send it to your MIL. Some kids to aspire to be stay at home parents, even dads!
Monkey Mama, this one if for you

My kids are the same way since they are so close to their daddy (& aspire to be like him). BM has attached to more of the "daddy" aspect thought I am sure he clearly plans to be a SAHD. (He always chooses to be "daddy" on career day). LM, on the other hand, looked horrified when I told him the other day that some day he would have to work!
The funny thing is I was raised by a SAHM, but since she was rather miserable, I never aspired to be one. As such, I take it as a compliment when any child wants to be like their parent!
