[quote=Anonymous]I will teach my daughter to never be without her own money. If you have money (or earning power) you have options. I will never be a SAHP because I have seen how a spouse can ruin the family finances without others even knowing. I hope DD will find a spouse who carries half or more of the household burden, but I know from experience that doesn't always work out -- even when you believe it's an important trait in a spouse. Again, if you have money you have options -- to hire out chores, or to leave. That said, I think it's important to "work to live, not live to work." I was a driven career woman and then when I wanted kids, I found I had created a life in which it was very difficult to find time, difficult to move to be near to family, etc. I was able to retool my career, but I wish I had built in the assumption I would have children and want to be near my parents. I wish I'd had kids a bit earlier, too. I will tell her so, when she's older. [/quote]
