[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have always worked full-time at home for the Feds.  I make less than my spouse and my salary that necessary, but I have great health benefits for the family, a hefty retirement of my own.  With $175k as the “support/not even close to primary” salary it’s the best of both.  I am in STEM in my graduate degree field.  I can’t imagine never working.[/quote]

I truly believe you’re a troll. You are clearly a different fed than most based on your salary and you know this isn’t realistic. Plus it takes a decade at least of work to climb the fed ladder. Stop dumping on this thread [/quote]

+1. You have a unicorn situation if you have a $175k fed job that has always let you work full-time from home.  You must know that's not available to OP[/quote]

No she doesn't.  I have female relatives and tons of neighbors, friends that all work from home full-time or part-time (yes- pre Covid).  Lawyers, IT, sales, managers, etc.

The positions are out there, but--yes---not as likely if you wait until your well into your 40s to find them.  You have to keep a foot in the door from the get-go.

Look, a lot of women will never ever want to work.  It's a different kind of person.  The question is: did her husband know this about her at the time he married her--or did she bank on popping out kids to save her from ever earning a cent?  IF it's the former, he doesn't have an argument and only himself to blame now.[/quote]
