[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was just talking to a SAHM of teens (she teaches rec center classes during school hours) and she told me that she actually feels it's more important for her to be a SAHM now than it was when her kids were my age (2 and 3). I really hope we can continue to afford me SAH as the kids get older. I have a PhD, so maybe I can find some part-time flexible consulting work for during school hours.[/quote]

Can I just ask why on earth you got a PhD if your intent was to be a SAHM for 20 years?  Where I come from, you maybe get a BA if this is your life goal, but you certainly don't spend 10+ years and go into debt for a PhD you will never use.[/quote]

I WOHM, [b]but have to say you make a lot of ill-informed assumptions in your post as you attention to insult that poster[/b]. Talented candidates will be fully funded at many top flight programs. If PP wanted to be an academic, perhaps that did not work out. Many of my friends with PhDs have found themselves unable to make a reasonable living in a very difficult academic job market. I was lucky that my doctorate landed me in a decent position. Not everyone has that.[/quote]

What on earth does this mean?[/quote]
