[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are getting a lot of unfair comments.  My wife is a SAHM.  A lot of women become SAHMs without knowing it is a choice they would make when they are single.  My DW is a lawyer, so she has earning power.

The number 1 factor is YOUR income.  You need to make a lot of money so your future wife's decision whether SHE wants to stay home is made without regard to money.  [/quote]

+1 I'm a SAHM and a Harvard Law grad.  I never intended to SAH--in fact, never imagined it--but my career involved too much travel to work with a family, and DH's big law career involved too many hours.  I'm not sure looking for someone who wants to stay home is the right strategy--for instance, I couldn't imagine it when I was in school, or when my career was taking off.  It had to do with the way our two careers intermeshed, and that we knew that if we added kids in the mix, something would have to give or they'd be primarily raised by hired help.  We have worked it out very well, and the bonus is that we do deal with each other as equals because I've been there/done that re Big Law, so I get what he has to deal with, and he can talk about his job as if to a peer.  We met as peers/equals in law school and that formed the basis of our relationship--there are no power differentials.[/quote]
