bin,
hmm, for me, i dont think i can be fulfilled just being a mother to a toddler. during my maternity leave (and subsequently some no-pay leave) period, I was so looking forward to go back to work! although maybe if my kids are all in full day school (at least childcare or nursery) i'll consider being a SAHM, cos can plan more activities for that age, and dunnid to keep changing diapers! also, for that age, can really start to mould their characters.
