You are wrong. I am currently a SAHM because it made financial sense for me to stay home and raise our kids rather than work a full time job and pay someone else to take care of them. He made more money that I did (though when we were married, I made more.) I was a teacher, so raises were pathetic (raises are on a step system, based on years of experience and the degree you have, not how well you can teach.) He was in the business world and had better raises since raises are based on performance.

Plus, his insurance was MUCH better than the ones offered by the school system. So for economic reasons, I stayed home. [b]I'm glad I'm raising our kids rather than a stranger.[/b] [/quote].

Wow, totally with you until that last sentence.

I guess in your view your husband isn't raising your kids, since he works?[/quote]

How on earth did you come to [i]that [/i]conclusion?

You misunderstood. [b]I[/b] am raising the kids [b]not a day care provider (stranger)[/b]. DH does his part but since he has to leave home to go to work,  I am the primary caretaker not a day care center.[/quote]

I understood perfectly. You stay home and are happy you are raising your kids and not a stranger.  If you were working, a stranger must "raise" your kids. Because raising them apparently requires being home with them. I wondered if you held that standard only for mothers, or do fathers count, too?  That's why I asked...[/quote]
