[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stayed home on a lower salary for DH than yours OP. Zero regrets. Out family life is so much more sane, our kids eat healthy home cooked meals, are read to every day, and we have a very strong bond. I don’t worry about going back to work because there will always be some type of a job for an intelligent, educated person who has the desire to work, albeit at a lower salary I am sure. So far I have not needed to go back.

People always say this, but there are people who are proud of their lifetime accomplishments. Imagine a teacher or doctor - I'm sure they are proud of helping people throughout their career. They probably don't care too much about the money, though. [/quote]

It is like the people who only do one of the options feel the need to convince themselves that it was either/or.

Of course if I had to choose between being a good parent or working outside the home, I would pick parenting. But do SAHM's not realize what a value judgement they are making on others when they portray the choices that way?

I think someone who did a great job with their kids AND contributed majorly to the larger society must be pretty threatening to them, so they return to this false choice. [/quote]
