[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a much younger sister in her early thirties and she and nearly all of her friends are SAHM’s to men working good professional jobs. Looking at the housing turnover in my neighborhood this seems to be the case there too. So I’m not sure if your theory is accurate.[/quote]

I think it also depends where you live but ultimately, the high earning lawyer plus high earning cardiologist will do better overall financially and have the most resources of their kids. In the end, I can see this being the ideal set up. [/quote]

You think a kid being raised by a big law partner and a busy specialist doctor is the ideal set up? Those people are going to need a backup nanny for the main nanny, so we are gonna have to agree to disagree there. [/quote]

Yeah in the families that I know with 2 busy high earning parents, the kids aren’t getting a lot of attention. [/quote]

Can't have two really busy parents. Kids suffer.[/quote]

Define "busy"?  If you have two people that prioritize their own needs over their kids, then kids will suffer.  This could be a classroom aid and police officer who are too busy with fantasy football or getting their nails done or whatever.  But speaking from personal experience and from my peer group, so-called power couples are often the greatest parents.  We're in a place in our career where we don't have to miss a single game, concert, conference, anything.  Kids go to private schools and have tutors.  If they are struggling in any way, we solve the problem.  We have dinner together most nights now - it is easy to say 'no' to unnecessary work things when your position is very secure or it's your company.  We work hard but have a lot of vacation time and make the most of it.

Most high achieving people, men and women, look for a about an equal, or at least that has been my personal experience and observations. [/quote]
