Let me guess: You people also have "no respect" for moms who stay home after their children are in school? And obviously having a job is what "gives life purpose"? Please! If you feel THIS vocal about the issue, you clearly have some resentment.

In my case, DH owns his own company and loves what he does. He will never stop working. That is a choice, because we can financially both retire now and be very comfortable. I do not derive fulfillment from my former lobbying career. I feel fulfilled by volunteering, helping others, running our house and finances, and especially raising our child. But - my point is that it's not just my child that makes staying at home fulfilling - there are many, many other aspects of this life that I love. My goal is to become more involved with my charity when my child is in school. I like being able to make a difference and do what I really enjoy- rather than the daily grind from 9-6 every day.

I know there are people out there that are truly satisfied with and love their jobs - my husband is one, but frankly - I haven't met many women who truly feel this way.

Why would you stay home after your kids are in school?[/quote]

You do know that the odds are in favor of your husband leaving you and you will no longer have this life you love, right? I know you think you are important and that you deserve the life you want, but as long as that life is predicated on someone else's earning potential, you have no security.

Over 50% of marriages in this country end in divorce.[/quote]

I am not this PP, but where are you getting your information?  The odds of a college-educated couple in a long-term marriage getting divorced is actually very low.  50% of all marriages end in divorce but not 50% of all people get divorced.  Some people get married and divorced multiple times and marriages are much more likely to end in the first few years.  Of course you can't know the future, but there is no reason to overestimate the chances of a bad outcome.  [/quote]
