Mothers who choose to leave their career to raise their children are often faced with unique and difficult challenges, including isolation, a loss of identity, and boredom. However, they're also blessed with wonderful rewards reaped by their efforts, such as valuable teaching moments with their children, and freedom from workplace stressors. A recent book I read addresses the good and the bad of the life of a SAHM. The author, a woman who left a successful magazine career to stay home with her son (and gave birth to twin girls shortly thereafter), uses research and anecdotes from SAHMs all over the country to offer solutions and discuss the "perks and pitfalls" of staying home. www.stayathomesurvivalguide.com.
