[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it insulting that a woman who is highly educated will be willing to SAHM, to do all the housework etc. I wonder if this is also what they preach to their daughters? Yeah, I will pay for your college and grad school but please find a high potential husband so that you can be a good SAHM for him?[/quote]

I’m not a SAHM for my husband. I’m a SAHM for me bc I want to be with my kids. I didn’t realize when I did well on my SATs and went to a good college that that meant I had to spend my day apart from my kids.[/quote]

I also think that apart from love and attraction, one of the reasons that my DH married me was  because he was college educated like me and held the same values and goals.  We both value education and took the task of raising a family very seriously.  He respects me immensely because of my partnership. We all attract and marry people who gel with us. My husband respects parents who do a good job of raising their children in a nurturing environment.  He is also a very involved parent and husband, so he pitches in wholeheartedly. He is also a very supportive partner when I was a WOHM.

If he was less than who he is, I probably would not leave my job to SAH, or I would not have had kids with him, or maybe I would not have married him in the first place.
