[quote=Anonymous]I always wanted to work and so I did. Once I had kids DH and I both found it hard to juggle and spend the amount of time we wanted with the kids.  Both of us were besotted parents and we wanted our kids to get the best.  We decided that I would stay at home.  DH is a high enough earner, we live very well and have low overheads, we have lots of insurance, college and retirement sorted out.

We found a lot of value in my being a SAHM. Our entire family benefited.  I am financially secure and I do not have a pre-nup.

I would never have married my DH if he would have said that he wanted a WOHM or a SAHM.  Before and after we were married my DH said that any decision I took regarding my employment would be supported by him.  So in some ways it was a traditional marriage because my employment outside the house was optional and dependent on me.  He was also open to staying at home if ever I was making more than he was and a parent was needed at home.  I married him because he valued how I wanted to feel fulfilled - in the modern role of a working woman, in a traditional role of a home maker or in the realistic role of a married and super educated parent who was making the best decisions with her spouse for  our family.
