[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah, what's hard to understand is that you think that 1 parent is absent when there is a big earner?

I think OPs situation sucks.  We all assume she's a big earner because she's a lawyer and she's working until 1 am, but, as I just said above, my DH is a lawyer and doesn't work until 1 am!!  We would not be okay with that lifestyle.

The problem is that you assume a SAH parent and a big earner has 1 absent parent.[/quote]

I do not assume 1 parent is absent. It was stated that 1 parent was absent so she SAH.

Here is the quote...

[i] DH is working all the time.[/i]

I stated that.

[i]Allowing this model to continue is terrible for both the future of our sons and daughters.

Men need to raise their kids and stop using work as an excuse.[/i]

Then somebody posted...
[i]
I think that's easy to say, but sometimes harder to put into practice. [/i]

All I was saying was that kids need 2 parents. I [b]did not[/b] say every single high earner is a neglectful parent. I [b]did not[/b] say all SAH moms have a H that is neglectful.

I said if somebody works all the time (like OP and her H) that [b]BOTH [/b]need to adjust their schedule not just one of them.

My advice to OP is that BOTH of them need to be in their kids lives... do you disagree?
