[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parenting is a marathon, not a sprint so to need to think about this I. The long term. If you choose to stay home will it mean she can’t do the extra curriculars she wants, or go to her preferred college, or in her adulthood have a mother who is economically dependent on her, or guilt trips her over the career she sacrificed?[/quote]

:lol: This is dcum.

My being at home, allowed my kids to actually do all the above and more. Mainly because my DH is a high earner, I am very well educated and we have a great marriage.  If my paycheck was needed for college/retirement,   if my marriage was not strong, if my DH was not a high earner, if he did not respect, support and want me to be home with our kids,  and if I could not outsource many household chores  - I would not have stayed at home.

The biggest red flag is that OPs DH does not want her to be a sahm. Case closed.   There is not even a debate. This is a troll attempt for starting another sahm-wohm war thread. [/quote]
