[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have worked all but 2 years of my adult life but I think these anti alimony women are nuts.

Children need their parents time, not shoved off in daycare for 12 hours a day. That means one parent needs to step out of the full rat race. Either DHor I have worked PT since our child was born.

Many high earner men want SAHM wives until they get bored with them. SaHs contribute greatly to a family's well being. The working parent cant try to offload their spouse at almost 60 and get away with it.[/quote]

This is what people don't get  -

THERE IS A HAPPY MEDIUM BETWEEN LEAVING THE WORKFORCE COMPLETELY AND ENDING UP DESTITUTE AND PUTTING AN INFANT IN DAYCARE FOR 12 HOURS A DAY.

And I'm guessing pretty much every successful working woman on this board has found that.  SAHMs don't see how this is possible because a) they left the workforce before gaining enough seniority to have any flexibility etc and/or it was long enough ago that they don't realize how far flexibility and teleworking have come or b) their husband tells them how impossible working is as an excuse to do nothing around the house and because they have no other frame of reference, they believe him.
