[quote=Anonymous]The divorce/early death (very low likelihood for either yet posters act like it's on every horizon) is more likely to hurt dual incomes than OP. Seriously, just because two people work does not mean they will not be utterly devastated financially when faced with divorce or early death. We have actual divorce statistics for certain educational backgrounds and income levels so it's impossible to believe one PP's claim of seeing it all the time. I know what family disasters I personally have seen more than others and they do reflect the statistics.

The OP has vacation homes/savings/protection but some types love to swarm to such a thread just to predict impending doom, every single thread. There is a higher likelihood that more dual income couples at lower hhi would not be sitting pretty with their employment and millions in the bank in case of disaster, but genuine kudos to the highest earning women who would be the best off financially in those situations.

OP needs to realize her contentment should not come from accolades. Like many pps said, she should be counting her blessings to have such privilege. It's unfair, that women with less who would love to sahm for various reasons cannot afford to, or still do it and put themselves in a dangerous position for financial control (which is also common in dual income families). Op is wistful, privileged and simply sharing that she felt embarrassed about something. It's tone deaf to do on public forum but interesting and food for thought.[/quote]
