[quote=Anonymous]My mom told me to always have my own money - whether that's a cash fare to get home from a party, or a private savings account if I need to leave my spouse. I would add to that, keep current the skills and connections to get a new job if whatever the current situation is (including SAH) goes south. Marriages end for a variety of reasons, and jobs end too. You don't need to have one foot out the door but you should know where the doors are. I have an only child and am willing to help her with childcare if/when she has kids. I plan to tell her that, and encourage her to think about family networks when choosing her profession and hometown. I moved far away from home and then regretted it; my ILs moved to be near us and their granddaughter which I will always appreciate. We know a lot of teachers and nurses, and I'm a lawyer. There are different kinds of flexibility - some people have flexible schedules, and some people have flexible workplaces, and some people have neither. I hope to talk to DD more about those tradeoffs as she gets older. [/quote]
