[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assuming everyone on dcum is of the professional working class, the question should actually be flipped: what’s the cost of not working? Not arguing that upper middle class educated women shouldn’t be SAH, but there is a huge financial loss when they do make that decision. There is also the risk they take in trusting that their spouse will always be there to support them financially. For example, you SAH for ten years and then Dh wants a divorce, no 401k of your own, no marketable skillset except for cleaning and wiping butts… Eeek [/quote] .the cost is missing out on your kid's childhood, spending little time with them, having someone else instill their values into your kid. [/quote] So dad miss out on their childrens' childhood by working, or is it just moms? The dad spend little time with their kids, just because they work full time? Ditto with their values? Come on, this is shallow rhetoric. My kids definitely know what my values are.[/quote] Total BS with the previous post. My kids went to a daycare. They learned what it is like out in the real life. I supported them with the right values, they didn't get brainwashed, they can judge correctly for themselves. [/quote]
