[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My SIL got engaged to her college sweetheart right after undergrad. She is a financial executive now who worked and supported her DH through post-bacc, medical school, residency and fellowship. He is a finally earning a decent salary now. They are starting a family and thinking of her becoming a SAHM as his job hours are long and involve shifts. She is doing well in her career but doesn’t want stress of juggling a demanding career and young children. However, my ILs feel she made enough sacrifices (financial and of moving around for his med school, residency and recently for his new job) and this one is just not fair to her and he should find a schedule to be an equal partner. She asked me and her brother for advice. We couldn’t offer any. What your life experiences say about such a situation?[/quote]

Who cares what your ILs think? Their opinion is neither valid nor relevant. Falls under the category of "duly noted" and if offered unsolicited, "you are an asshole."

What does *she* want. A lot of women who shift from high-octane career to SAHM end up hating it. She might want to see how she feels after an extended maternity leave. [/quote]
