[quote=Anonymous][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?

You are pulling a lines from a bunch of different posts that were all pointed in somewhat different directions and written by different people, and then pretending they were some kind of unified statement. That's not how it works.[/quote]
