[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a much younger sister in her early thirties and she and nearly all of her friends are SAHM’s to men working good professional jobs. Looking at the housing turnover in my neighborhood this seems to be the case there too. So I’m not sure if your theory is accurate.[/quote]

I think it also depends where you live but ultimately, the high earning lawyer plus high earning cardiologist will do better overall financially and have the most resources of their kids. In the end, I can see this being the ideal set up. [/quote]

You think a kid being raised by a big law partner and a busy specialist doctor is the ideal set up? Those people are going to need a backup nanny for the main nanny, so we are gonna have to agree to disagree there. [/quote]

Maybe to you its not ideal but not everyone has the same priorities as you. These kids will have infinite resources and also the ability to spring into careers that they'd like. I have plenty of people in medical school class who had parents with exact these careers and they are doing well, close with their parents, and have also these career ambitions. They also felt that their parents were able to have flexibility in their schedules as high earners. I think the idea that these careers never see their kids is outdated.[/quote]

This. We are not physicians, but both DH and I have demanding jobs. We are very close with our two teen children. They know that we love our jobs, but we are also there for them. They also know that we cannot attend all of their needs and they will need to take care many things themselves. It has been our mind setting since elementary school. They are very capable and independent kids. [/quote]

Yeah no. They probably never told you how they felt. I am room parent and I see the happiness in the little kids eyes when their parents come in and the disappointment of the kids who don’t have their parents come in. Don’t be surprised if later in life they blame you for never being there for them.[/quote]
