[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a very anti-SAHM board OP so you are unlikely to get a balanced answer. Many women would not want to be at home with their kids regardless of income threshhold. You need to make the decision that is right for you. There are benefits to being at home for some people. A reduction in stress, more family time, less chaotic mornings and evenings, greater influence in raising children, spending more time with the kids...depending on your view there can be positive mental health and relational outcomes as well. You need to weigh what the benefits to you would be against the priority you place on wealth and climbing the corporate ladder. [/quote]

I find it ironic that you are posting about an anti-SAHM sentiment when you've reduced working to being all about "wealth and climbing the corporate ladder." What BS. I realize I shouldn't bother explaining why this has nothing to do with reality (the vast majority of people in this area don't work for corporations, for one, there a lot of folks in public service and working for nonprofits because they GASP love what they do). And not everyone has the option of "wealth." But I get that admitting this would involve admitting a whole bunch of stuff you aren't ready to do, so I'll let it go and let you keep your smug defensiveness.[/quote]

Totally agree. But she gets to RELAX! Not an independent adult but she is RELAXED! And everyone who works does it because they prioritize wealth over their children  :roll: [/quote]
