[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because my mom was a SAHM and I saw how that went. [/quote] My mom had a pretty good SAHM experience, but we had grandparents nearby to help out. She'd always planned to go back to work, but it never happened, I think primarily due to lack of opportunities for women in her field where we lived (this was in the 1980s). But to the PP's point, we also watched several of her SAHM friends have terrible experiences with abuse and divorce, where they were left with multiple kids, few resources, and little/no support from their ex-husbands or families. In one abuse case the friend's family turned on her after she left her husband because "he was so nice, and a doctor!" My mom made it very, very clear that I needed to be able to support myself and any kids I might have. [/quote]
