[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had absoluely no intention of staying at home with kids. I married a person who was reaonable, thoughtful, and flexible, and who understands life can change in an instant. We are a team. We support each other's goals and choices.

Life changed in an instant for us, and I learned the "never say never" lesson in real time. After experience, the change that parenthood brings, the needs of the particular child at issue, the reality of our financial stability and work life balance instability, we talked it out and came to a mutual decison that we both supported. We continued to review the situation over time and continue to reach mutual agreement about our course of action.

The relaity is that what you want now may not be what you need later, so ideally, you and the person you choose to have a life with have to be the kind of people who can assess a situation and pivot as needed, and plan for eventualities as best as you are able.[/quote]

People are incredibly opinionated on this including many without kids. You never know.

I grew up with a SAHM who criticized women who worked. My father wouldn’t have supported her working.

Now I work and can’t imagine staying home with young kids unless I had a FT nanny. Working is easier and I like making money. [/quote]
