I’m 30F and I’m torn about whether or not to have children. My mother was a SAHM, and because I had such a happy upbringing, I feel that if I do have kids, there should be a stay-at-home parent in the picture. I'm interested in becoming a stay-at-home mom, but I’m struggling with the idea of putting a pause on my(or my partner's) career. I don't have any stay-at-home mom friends around my age, so I’d love to hear about the joys of being a SAHM.
Apologies if this is a repetitive question, as I just joined here.

(Sorry I can't reply to everyone, but I’m reading every single comment and finding them all so fascinating and eye-opening! Thank you so much.)
