Why can't women do that by themselves?

Have a baby alone then stay home with the child for a year plus while earning no income? Rinse and repeat for subsequent children? Good plan

What rich 29yo man is in a starter marriage?

They are in the final years of the first marriage, the one to the wife they met in college and who helped get his business off the ground while raising the kids. Now that he’s established, he wants to replace her with a newer, shinier, less tired model.

How old are you? 70?

So he's 29 and wants to replace his 29yo wife with another 29yo? What the hell?

This. Or target 50+ and willing to let you have one kid. But don’t expect them to do midnight feedings or diapers. They already did that once with their first family.

Not true based on my experience. 50ish spouse started all over with me and he does at least half of all midnight feedings and diapers and all the other hard stuff. He knows he's lucky to have me and he was very happy from the beginning to try fatherhood again now that he's got more time and money and "the right partner," as he often says. Who knows where things will go, but so far, I feel like I won the lottery because he's rich, handsome and adores me and our little kids. I know there are risks to marrying an older guy and OP probably shouldn't take them. From what I read on here and elsewhere, I probably did win the lottery because lots of women in my situation are miserable.

Because taking care of children and a home is a job. Just a century ago almost all married women stayed at home. Did you think they were crazy or something? Have you tried it?

The 50s are great; 60’s not so much. Enjoy them.

OP, seriously, get a life.

In the recent past some, but not all, of the troll posts on DCUM were funny and original.

Now, we have posts like this one. Please do not feed the trolls.

I don’t buy those excuses. If you have time for DCUM all day, you have time to do all those even with kids.

Yes, I sense that. At least I won't ever have to worry about money, and I have two adorable kids from our marriage. Not sure how our relationship will go in his sixties, but we'll cross that bridge when we get there. I used to live in a constant state of anxiety over the future, but I lost two good friends to cancer in my thirties and it really changed my perspective. One day at a time.

Yes, they totally chose to stay at home to raise children in spite of other opportunities 🙄 you’re still employed, it’s just that your husband pays your check and you’re not cultivating transferable skills. Congratulations, but a lot of people would rightfully consider your situation sub-optimal. May the odds be in your favor.

News flash: no man wants to marry a hooker. Start appreciating people for something other than money.
