[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have three kids two years apart you will be out of the workforce for 9-10 years depending when their birthdays fall. More if the spacing is not quite so aggressive. That is a long time. Sole breadwinner is not going to be for everyone just as being a stay at home parent won't. You don't say what the salaries are, but this would make a difference too. [/quote] I became a stay at home mom recently (not entirely by choice) and my husband is totally stressed about being the sole earner. I think it is fine to want to be a SAHM, but life is long and full of tough choices. I’d be flexible on the issue. Someone car get hurt, get fired. What is you make more money? Or maybe you end up not having kids for whatever reason. I think the inflexibility would bother me most. Like - it is this way or we break up. I think you have to see how things go and where you are in life and discuss with your partner at that time.[/quote]
