[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Journalists and scientists don't look for breadwinner husbands. Hahaha- I absolutely love all of these ridiculous statements these WOH women are making.

I met my husband at 18- he was from a family with a ton less money than mine. We married at 30 and he is a very high earner (not law or medicine, when we married he only had his undergrad, now had MBA).

All of the people I know married because they were in love. This idea that women are preying upon breadwinner men is just funny.[/quote]

+1. I'm actually laughing right now. All the SAHMs I know were working at the time they were married and it was a love match each time. Not one was going for her MRS.  This idea of a college-educated woman on the prowl for a "breadwinner husband" is so 50's. [/quote]

Claim what you will but their career choice speaks to the truth of their plans. [/quote]

You sound very bitter, maybe it's time to reevaluate your own life choices? [/quote]

Well yeah, I came from a poor background, was driven to succeed at a serious academic career in science, and married for love without really ever considering I would need a breadwinner if I wanted to stay home.  My DH is great, but he came from an even poor backwater background and never had any sense on how to hussle for the *real* money to live around here.  I don't fault him, but now he wants me to stay home but we don't have any clear path to elevating income to make that possible.  But our lives are the working parent mess and I would love to kick back and do yoga like all these teachers and HR women did; probably I'm not hot enough :)[/quote]
