[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think people realize how insane it is to forgo any secure salary and realize the pointlessness of being at home with your children versus having them in childcare. Zero difference in kid outcome.[/quote]

:roll:

It’s the day to day that matters, not the outcome. Hasn’t this recent event taught you anything? As cliches as it is to say, it’s also true: all that is guaranteed us is today. I’d rather spend my time at home with my kids and husband, taking care of my house and garden, feathering my nest so to speak, Pursuing my hobbies, then working to make some rich people slightly richer.[/quote]

your kids and husband are home all day?  who pays for the feathering?[/quote]

He works from home in tech. We don’t live in dc.[/quote]

So he works from home in a secure job.  Do you not realize how much more fortunate you are than almost all Americans?  Of course you can spew this drivel about gardening.

For the vast majority of households, all this will prove is that two salaries are better than one.[/quote]

For most, sure. But we're both posting on DCUM where 300k is considered middle income. So, in other words, read the room.

A lot of people in that income and above might see the appeal of staying at home after this is over.[/quote]
