[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have one. It wasn't my plan. I always wanted to work and assumed my spouse would work. There are definite good things about it (much less stress to have a parent at home, kids have strong bonds with dad) but the bad things are: (1) the stress on me of feeling like everything money and insurance related is on me (2) loss of earning potential for one member of our team and feeling like he will never really have a career again (3) sometimes feeling resentful he is more a part of the kids' day than I am. I think these are the drawbacks of a stay at home spouse of any gender, though. [/quote] Agreed. My wife was a SAHM for three years with our two small kids and I completed agree with the above points. Also, add in a little bit of resentment of the SAHP's side that you get to have adult interaction and recognition beyond being a parent. [/quote]
