[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parenting priorities at that financial stage would be to have a parent stay home before funding private.  So if that cut HHI to $500k, I'd keep public and have the SAHP focus on enrichment, quality time, keeping a finger on the pulse of the kids' friends and what's going on in their lives.

If it cut HHI to $950k, I'd probably do all that and private too.[/quote]

This is a good point. A dual-income couple making 1m is likely outsourcing a ton of stuff in order to make both jobs work, unless one of those jobs is a super flexible 100k gig. If we're talking two 500k jobs, I agree that there are really advantages to having one partner stay home, or go part-time, to maximize not only your kid's childhoods but also just home life in general. There are so many advantages to having one parent holding down the fort at home when the other parent has a very demanding job. The SAHP can make sure all the logistics are all happening when people are at work and school and then do the planning necessary to ensure that family time is well spent, especially if the other partner's family time is somewhat limited. Sure, you can outsource stuff like vacation planning and cooking and cleaning, but you can't outsource family movie night (I guess you could, but at that point you're talking about employing a full time home assistant on top of nanny, housekeeper, food delivery, etc.).[/quote]
