[quote=Anonymous]Here is the problem, biologically, moms need about 2-3 years of downtime for each kid. You are growing a person, breastfeeding a person, etc. do you will be dependent on dh’s income for those years. After that you will have the mom load and you will be mommy tracked. You don’t want to be in a position of resenting your dh - that’s s marriage killer. You can: Downsize your lifestyle so his income is completely sufficient for those years and you DONT resent him for not being as ambitious and earning more. Then ramp back up in your career when the kid is 6-12 and have dad step up kid activities more and bank that extra money for an awesome retirement and college fund. Mismatched ambition can be a red flag. BUT having kids changes many women’s priorities. If you are willing to forego some trappings of materialism you can make this work. [/quote]
