[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband's best friend was adamant that he wanted to find a woman who wanted to be a stay at home mom with no career goals. He scoffed that my husband married me - a successful, busy lawyer. He found her - living off and on at her parents', part time waitressing, etc. She kept working for a year, and then quit her part-time job when she was 5 months pregnant. He even threw her a "retirement party". Fast forward 8 years and it turns she's a totally crappy mom.  Sleeps in, has a 15 hour a week nanny plus kids in childcare plus parents on the same street who watch the kids several times a week. Forgets to buy school supplies or send the kids to school with cupcakes for the bakesale. Terrible cook. It turns out that, in 2015 that women who have never aspired to a career or education aren't exactly top of the head on the mom material either.  His career has taken some shitty turns during the recession and he's trying to figure out how to divorce her without losing all his money and the kids in the process (since the family court system will actually favor her with custody since she's been "primary caregiver" all along).  Recently, he told me how wrong he was about wanting that kind of wife and how awesome my husband and my situation is.  Who would have guessed that a woman who isn't motivated to go to college also isn't motivated to do laundry? [/quote]

I dont think she did anything wrong.  She was honest about herself.  Sounds like your DH's bff just wants some kind of a 1950s stepford wife. I find it hilarious that he didnt get it.  [/quote]
