[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, yes, we downsized a lot. We rent a smaller place now in a good school district. Home ownership in this area required that I work at the law firm, and so we decided to get out of it. That was our choice. I encourage others to be happy with their choices. All I am saying is shut up with the "I really could not take care pf children" crap. It really is a very small point I am making. Sorry it is getting everyone so agitated--probably because working moms say this shit all the time. [/quote] Of course I could have taken better care of my kids than our English nanny did. However, the marginal improvement in the care of the kids would have been greatly outweighed by certain things: (1) I never had any desire to SAH, but on the contrary, have always been quite ambitious in a career sense; (2) DH and I believe strongly that being equal partners, both in money earning as well as childrearing is really foundational to our marriage and (3) we are able to achieve our financial goals much more easily because we both WOH.[/quote]
