[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is common knowledge that smart women pursue marriage with well-to-do men primarily because of the financial logistics of building a family life together. Centuries  of female wisdom dictates that since a lot of a woman’s emotional intellectual and physical energies will be dedicated to birthing and raising the children, it is imperative that she mate with a high value high earning man to ensure full access to resources in society and financial stability. Even in our modern economies with dual income households, the woman’s career takes a hit once children arrive so it is important her husband is a high earner to offset that cost.

So because life isn’t ideal and we can’t all marry the top 10% of high earning men, how is life like? If you’re expected to bring in your fair share or income in addition to raising children, what’s yaour day to day like? Can this ever be considered a preferred life choice even?

Is this a joke? What an absurd post. Smart women marry kind, loving, hard working decent men who pull their own weight. A women’s career does not “take a hit” once children are born. It’s 2019. There are millions of women, especially in the DC area, who just kept working, like me, and nothing changed one bit. Got a nanny and kept on with my successful career. Husband does his share of household/childcare responsibilities. We are both relatively “high earners. I am not financially dependent on him, which is good. I have my own non family achievements and love having children, a great career and happy marriage. DH is financially successful but is glad to not have all the earning responsibilities.[/quote]
