This is such a dumb argument. Wealthy SAHM's don't have to go back to work regardless of the number of kids they have. I stopped at 2. Still not going back to work. I know many who are the same. When 1 spouse makes $400k+, a second spouse making mid to upper five figures is pretty inconsequential.

Weird that you think the second income would be 5 figure. DH makes $400-$500K depending on bonus (maybe even up to $600K). I do not have to work for financial reasons. But I earn $250K, so my income is not inconsequential to our total savings etc.

Well, I haven't worked since I was 27 and back then did event planning. I haven't worked in 10 years. My only experience is in event planning which is a lot of nights and weekends. IF I could even get a full time job, I'm not sure what it would be or how much it would pay, but I do know the amount would be inconsequential to us and me working would be really inconvenient. Face it, for some of us it just makes zero sense.
