[quote=Anonymous]Exactly how is this possible for most people? When my first kid was born my wife said I want to be SAHM as she resented her Mom for working, all her HS activities, she had no parents there, no help with anything. She would walk home from Middle School in pouring rain as no Mom to pick her up. Most of other moms SAHM. She sprung this one me three months after first born and we just bought a house and she was 50 percent of my income. I had to double my income quick. To do that I took a very demanding job with long hours. I left for work at 650 am and go home usually at 730 pm. I was very involved but the fact was I was gone around 12 hours day 5 days a week. And that was for 16 years. My salary went way up around 4x due to work, my wife her chances of going back got harder. It was cycle hard to break. In retrospect it was a happiest times. She had three kids back to back, she had a lot of money coming in and no husband bothering her all day and little money worries. [/quote]
