Am donning flameproof suit for this but I'm genuinely curious as to people's thoughts.
To give background, I am a stay at home Mum to 4 children under 9. I have been home for 5 years now, as we moved away for my husbands work 5 years ago and I stopped work then, we've since moved home but I have not worked due to a tiny baby.
My tiny baby is nearly 2 now though, and the more I think about it, the more I think I might not want to go back to work at all. I actually like being at home with the children and being a sometimes "housewife." I even make my husband his lunch for work out of choice ;) because I'm making three kids worth anyway so may as well
Realistically, I cannot go back to work for at least 8 years anyway, as our eldest is autistic and needs me at home more and more as he gets older. I am officially his carer, but had considered working when he was in secondary school. I'm not sure this will be possible now.
After that though, I won't have worked for 12+ years. Will I even be able to? AIBU to quite enjoy the thought that I won't necessarily have to?
N.B my husband earns a high enough wage that I won't "need" to go back at all, but I'm young and feel immense pressure that I should at some point anyway.

To possibly not want to go back to work... Ever.
