[quote=Anonymous]Every adult in a household needs to work and if one person in the household decides to not work you need to understand the consequences of those actions.

Don't ever want to be X and then say, I guess I won't do that because I want to be a parent... that's insance. Be X then if parenting and X does not work out, you adjust... become a pediatrician instead of a surgeon, be a part time accountant, but be what you want to be.

One person in the marriage can not think "I am giving a gift to my spouse of staying home" while the other spouse thinks "I am giving up my career for my spouse" and then years later each think the other had the better deal.

If 1 spouse stays home and the other works, what does that mean to you if there is a divorce. You work 80 hours a week so that you can pay alimony and never see your kids.

If you stay home you are essentially saying I am okay with being poor in my older year if something happens death/divorce/etc, you might have to go back to work at 50 and work until you are 70 so support yourself... are you okay with that scenario?

Do you want both parents to be fully involved in the children's lives or do you want 1 absent parent and 1 present parent. If you want your children to have 2 parents you need to arrange you life that way.

There is not right or wrong when making this decision, there are only decisions and consequences.[/quote]
