I need the adult interaction and intellectual stimulation. I was a SAHM when my oldest was little - I've never been so bored, lonely and depressed in my life. I won't say I enjoy every minute of my job, but I'd say about 90% of the time I do.
Financially, I like having my own income and knowing that I don't have to depend on my husband. If I didn't work, he would likely have to take a second job, which would put on unfair burden on him and deprive him of time with the kids.
