[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a college educated married immigrant woman who found it ridiculously hard to have a kid in US and also continue my job. It was a huge shock because US is worse than a 3rd world country regarding women's right and protections in the workplace.

Thankfully, my ILs and parents came in rotation for years  and stayed on for months so that we were supported in the early childhood phase.  Eventually, when we were in better financial health, I quit to become a SAHM.  This was only possible because we worked hard to keep our costs down and DH and I have same goals, culture and a great marriage.

For our kids, we are paying all the cost of college, wedding etc, and [b]they are very aware what kind of person they should marry[/b] and that they also should remain close to us in DMV so that we can provide childcare etc.  I won't be surprised that eventually a multigenerational family structure may emerge as a way to have kids and for women to continue to be in the workforce.

Of course, all others issues remain - current and new pandemic, climate change, breakdown of law and order, prohibitive health care etc,[/quote]

What does that mean? I'm genuinely curious. Only immigrant SAHMs allowed? Or only women who make high six-figures that can afford a nanny? By your wording it could go either way.[/quote]
