[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, there is no in between for moms who can't afford basic needs without working and healthy retirement savings?[/quote]

I'm sure there's an in between.  But the idea that your kids will "throw you in a home" because they went to daycare is ridiculous.  Clearly there are nursing facilities full of working moms and SAHMs.  There really isn't a correlation.  I was just making the point that thanks to the fact I have kept working, I have a nice federal pension and retirement savings, so my kids won't be burdened with trying to pay for a facility and I'll be able to afford a nice high end one if that's what I choose to do.[/quote]

That would be an interesting study, however, comparing the numbers of SAHPs in nursing homes to their once working counterparts.  I wonder if there IS a correlation?

I've seen the opposite with people I've known - that more SAHs were in nursing homes. Of course, that could be generational, as most moms did stay home when I was a kid.  But I also look at finances, and the mothers who worked were - of course - much more independent, especially if they were divorced.

So financial security has a lot to do with it.  [/quote]
