Yes, being a mother who chose to take the at home route and opt out of working outside the home can have some very wild opinions and comments, but it is the best thing and I wouldn't trade it for the world. It can be a fun, crazy, cooky ride and then again it can feel like you're going nuts, but this is the best decision because I get to enjoy my family and my days doing what makes me happy. :-) Good luck to all stay at home parents. We're the rare ones and the different ones but we can do this.
