Do you see a lot of stay at home parents in your line of work? What advice have you given to them about fending off the negative sterotypes they face and guilt over "giving up" on a career/education? The amount of comments from people (even family members) I get about how I'm wasting my potential can be disheartening, despite loving this time i get to spend with my child and the support role I play for my family unit in our home.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply! Something you said that I would like to ask you a little more about if you have time- how do I go about creating successful boundaries? When people do not accept your boundaries (tell you that you're being too sensitive, or that they are the way they are) and they are close family members, is there another communication tactic I can try or do I just have to accept it?

Lots for me to consider here, I appreciate it!
