[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'm not anti-SAHM for women who have more potential to contribute to society through child raising than paid work, but yeah, for highly educated and skilled women, it does seem like a waste.[/quote]
