[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually think the brief, postwar period in which one parent (usually the man) worked and the other (usually the woman) stayed home and took care of kids really is the ideal. Except I would want to update it so that men would be just as likely to stay home as women would. My spouse and I both work and both try to be there for the kids (doctor visits, camp and ballet sign ups, cooking meals, trips to the playground, etc.). Let me tell you, it's exhausting. Specialization would be better. But few can afford to live on one salary in the modern economy.[/quote] I think it's really great that my DH and I have equally split the parenting and bread winning duties for 15 years. Specialization - one of us SAH and one of us WOH - would have led to resentments and marital issues. Life is generally exhausting if you do it right.[/quote]
