[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This reads more like people asking the question what do you think of wives and mothers who work outside the home.[/quote]

I’m a SAHM and for our family, my being home is best for our family. DH and I make a good parenting team and compliment one another well in raising our children. We believe character and integrity is equally important as achievement. I try hard not to spoil our kids even though we have the money. My kids do chores and clean up after themselves. I used to have a FT housekeeper/nanny but we got rid of her so that our kids could help around the house.

I’m from NYC and saw first hand the spoiled kids with nannies following them around. We also encountered successful power couples whose children did not turn out so well. Even when the parents went to HBS and Yale Law and were at their top of their fields, their kids seemed to lack character and often did not end up at good colleges. The kids were often disrespectful to their parents, peers and friends. I see some similar behavior here in DC but not as much. [/quote]
