[quote=Anonymous]Ivy degree and SAHM for 15 years. I don't ever for a second feel "guilty" about "wasting" my degree. My children have needed me, and I've been there for them. I wish I could have co-parented with DH, who wishes the same thing. He wants to work less, and I want to work more. I did work part time for a few years, but pay was so low I couldn't sustain it -- it actually cost me money to work! I do a lot of volunteer work, so I think I'm contributing to society, and using my education for the general good, as well as in running a household and raising my children. It's not a perfect world, and I wish I did not have to choose between career and children, but I did, and I chose to spend time with my children, while DH spends time with his career. We're not wealthy, either. We're probably poor by DC standards, but I'm exceptionally good at keeping spending low, so that's made it possible for me to stay at home. [/quote]
