As women who want to bear children we have a lot of responsibilities and are under a lot of physical, emotional and intellectual stress during these years. The least we can do to try to help our situation some, is by ending up with a spouse that can provide a solid financial foundation to soften the blows of the child rearing years. [b]It is VERY HARD to be a mother AND be a breadwinner. [/b]Now, if a woman ONLY wants to devote her time to climbing the career ladder, then this argument is irrelevant.

It is equally hard to be a father and the breadwinner. Yet that is pretty much expected, especially on DCUM. 
Exactly why is it so much harder as a mother than a father?[/quote]

Um, because you probably aren't the default parent, nothing hatched out of your vagina, you didn't lactate, you're allowed to go gray, and you aren't expected to wax your hooha before beach vacations .  . . Just for starters[/quote]

Ok...but have you ever had the financial weight of the family on your back?  Have you ever had the family's lifestyle and your family's ability to be financially stable on your back?  Being a mother is a tough job, but do not diminish the role of the primary breadwinner. [/quote]
