[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Muslim women don't have to deal with this decision. Our men take care of us. It's a religious obligation. My husband has always been supportive of whatever I want to do. A lot of people have suggested I work part-time, but I realized PT is a pain too. You spend all your free time working, and then you're on as soon as the kids come home at 3 pm. Your husband doesn't help out nearly as much you envisioned. Both  working and staying home suck. There's a reason middle-aged women are so unhappy in the US. [/quote]

Muslim women deal with this decision all the time when their husbands don't make enough money.  I mean anyone can stay home if you're content with being poor.

Let's also address a little-known detail that Islam doesn't have a concept of marital property; when your husband divorces you, you go out of his house with whatever you brought in and your mahr. Whatever he made during the marriage is his and his alone.  No split assets, no alimony.  Three months of maintenance to make sure you aren't with child, and off you go. [/quote]
