[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b][quote=Anonymous]Indian-American here: My parents sacrificed a lot (A LOT) for me and my siblings to get the best education, including degrees from top-ranked schools. There's no way in hell I'm going to waste their investment in me to stay at home. [/b]It would be a slap in the face to my parents who came from nothing, came here with nothing, and built this life for us.

I DO know Indian-American SAHMs, but most of them are about 10-15 years younger than me and their parents come from wealthy families so they came here with money and didn't have to make the sacrifices my parents' generation did, so it's not a big deal to them. [/quote]

OP here. I think this PP pretty much summed up how SAHMs are perceived in my family. Wasting their parents’ investment. My fil and father were engineers so pretty middle class, but they worked hard to send their children to good universities. Staying at home after that is not viewed favorably.[/quote]

You only live once, and it’s your life to live.  Do what’s best for you, your spouse and your kids, whatever that choice would be.[/quote]

This is a very individualist American prospective.[/quote]
