[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would be cautious about saying you want to be a stay-at-home wife.  I think even men who want a SAHM might be put off by that.  They may be concerned that you will get bored, and it can be a lot of pressure on the relationship to have you focused just on caring for him.  Or you will attract man-babies who want someone  to cater to them and do all the boring household stuff so they never have to lift a finger.  That's probably not the kind of man you want to attract.

It also seems like, if you're planning on kids, wouldn't you want to earn some money before they arrive?  As an aspiring SAHM, it's important that you be financially prudent and a competent manager of whatever your financial situation is.  Unless you're looking exclusively for very wealthy men, this would be off-putting.[/quote]

This.  OP, the best SAHMs are focused on SAHM as a goal from when they are young.  They are frugal before the children come, and work hard to provide in advance for their families.  Savings from the woman working pre-kids go into purchasing a home big enough for a family-- you'll need a bigger down payment so that you'll have a monthly payment that is manageable on one income.  The ability to plan ahead and prioritize having a parent at home is what makes you desirable to a man who wants a SAHM.  If you're just hoping someone will come along and pay for everything (including your retirement) while you handle the day-to-day at home, think again.[/quote]
