[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It could be worse. You could be a single earner parent. Grass is always greener. [/quote]

I'm a single mom and a child of a single mom. I think we've got it made. I make all of the money and all of the decisions. My kid goes to a good private school that I pay for myself. I will pay for college myself. I don't make much money but it's all mine. I am not dependent on someone else.

I am also a teacher who taught overseas and felt so sorry for the wives of rich men. They would send their nannies and drivers to pick up their kids. They were spending a lot of time and money at the gym, with their trainers, at the spa, going somewhere to recover from plastic surgery. They were missing out on their kid's lives. Maybe they enjoyed this but I wouldn't. I had a kid and I want to be with him, not trying to make myself look beautiful on the outside just to keep a man.[/quote]

This dynamic exists, but as the exception, not the norm. My husband is rich (and I am independently wealthy). He would never encourage me to do anything that wasn't healthy and natural. He doesn't understand that I want to color my hair, which is the only alteration I do to my body. I am fit, he does expect that. AND I expect him to be fit too, so that's a 2 way street.[/quote]
