[quote=Anonymous]I didn't read every post, but haven't seen the special needs wild card mentioned. We were doing really well and frankly were a bit smug that somehow we'd figured out parenting and were great at division of labor. Honestly I really thought that other people were idiots or lazy because it all seemed so easy.  Then we had a kid who developed some behaviors which made school and life in general very challenging.  We'd raised all of our children in the same environment and our oldest were doing well and thriving but somehow the youngest was completely off the rails. Had to quit my job. Relationship with spouse has been strained because of the intense financial and emotional stress.

Maybe this as a corner case, but my point is that when it comes to parenting and raising a family, you have to be flexible and there is no one right answer. The most important part is that you find a partner who is on the same page (and even then, that doesn't guarantee your future because people do change or show their true colors under stress). Do keep your hand in some sort of work and income if at all possible unless you live in a very low COL place. [/quote]
