[quote=Anonymous]The mistake is potentially being so up front with it, and so confident that it’s what you’ll want. I think if you’d said, “i want to save money so we have the flexibility if one of us wants to stay home with the kids for a few years” it might land better. I NEVER thought I’d SAH, and my DH and I were both ambitious. Six weeks after our first was born it was painfully clear to BOTH of us how much we wanted a parent to be with her, and I was the one who wanted to and the one who earned less money, so it all made sense. Ten years and three kids later I’m still a SAHM and my DH values it enormously. But he genuinely didn’t feel that way before we had kids, both because he couldn’t conceive of how obsessed he’d be with them and because he was naive about how much work it takes.[/quote]
