[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here is how I look at my situation:

My wife stays at home -- we've got three young kids (the oldest just started school).  And man, it is GREAT, and I'm thankful she's willing to do it.  I couldn't.  It is constant attention to schedules and activities and the hearts and minds of the little ones.  She cooks healthy food, keeps the house reasonably clean, does the laundry, pays the bills, and keeps up the social connections.

I'm thankful that the raising of the kids is not in the hands of some minimum wage preschool workers or uneducated nanny.  I'm thankful she is constantly teaching the kids about the world, about morals, about important concepts that will make them more successful and happy teens and adults.  I'm thankful that because she does all she does during the day, we have time to connect as a couple when I'm home from work.  We have a great marriage and a peaceful, happy, intellectual family.  When I hear and read about the hustle of two working parents, it sounds soul crushing.  Why would any resent that?
