[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I personally enjoy the freedom to do what I want from day-to-day, and I am in absolutely no hurry to ever return to a desk job (an outdoors one, maybe).[/quote]

ME ME ME!![/quote]

Twelve years home and going strong, and my family likes it this way.  We are lucky not to need my income, and everyone prefers having me around the house and at everyone's disposal.  To each their own.[/quote]

"At everyone's disposal"? This is not how I would want to characterize my role.

I was a SAHM for a long time but kept working PT from home. I'm back in the office now and feel pretty confident financially. My own mother had the rug pulled out from under her after 12 years of marriage--there is NO way that will ever happen to me. I have to say, for us, our marriage is ten thousand times better because DH doesn't feel like he has the full burden of supporting the family and I don't feel like a glorified maid. The latter situation may not be the same for everyone, but absolutely NO woman out there should say she will never have to worry about supporting herself at some point (except for the trust fund person). I've seen it twice in my own group, and we're all around the 10- to 15-year mark in our marriages.[/quote]
