[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A friend of mine says she knew by middle school. Both her parents worked long hours and she was lonely at home, so decided she doesn't want that for her kids.[/quote]

Same for my SIL, both parents were always busy so when she had her first baby, she decided to leave her lucrative job. However, those were different times. Lives were simpler, marriages stronger and you can survive on one income. She wants her daughter to keep working because consequences are different in times of HCOL and fragile marriages.[/quote]

lmfao when were these simpler times?[/quote]

It really depends on where you live and who your circles are. DH used to be military and plenty of families live on the dad’s military income. It is the same time, just a different place.

I don’t think it is uncommon for a law partner, surgeon or executive to have a stay at home spouse. These times are the same. DH goes to work. Wife can live leisurely and take care of the kids while husband goes to work. [/quote]
