[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because I am highly educated and I believe my purpose is to help society beyond just keeping my house clean and kids fed.[/quote]

This. And your children are watching, and learning about adults and what is expected of them.

It is also much safer (financially and psychologically) for you to retain your independence.So many women seem to stay in unhappy marriages because they will take a dramatic fall if they were forced to support themselves.

We need to evolve.[/quote]

I used to be a working mom of two little boys. I once spoke to a friend who is always asking theoretical questions and is a wannabe therapist. I’m not sure how the topic even came up but I said I hoped that my sons would marry smart pretty nice girls but hopes the wives would stay home with my future grandchildren. I wouldn’t want a nanny. She asked why I didn’t do the same and it made me wonder why. We had a wonderful nanny who was good with infants and toddlers but she wasn’t an enriching type of nanny. I was interviewing well educated nannies and decided I wanted the job. I ended up having another child and have stayed home since.[/quote]

Why would any self-respecting woman become a trophy wife to your sons?[/quote]

Why would any self-respecting woman become a corporate cog?[/quote]

Because then she can stand on her own two feet.  (You really think this is some kind of gotcha?  You stay home because your husband is a corporate cog).[/quote]

Maybe she has tons and tons of family money and fulfills herself with exciting volunteer work? Or maybe she writes successful romance novels on the side?

Why do you care so much about somebody who isn’t requiring anything from you? I get being angry about welfare recipients, but as long as you’re not asking me to foot the bill, I couldn’t care less what you do.

This level of contempt for a stranger’s choices that have no effect on you, leads me to the conclusion that you are very, very jealous.[/quote]

Lots of people are posting here. You are assuming a level of emotion from pretty vanilla words.  Seems to me like you are very, very insecure.

Pot meet kettle. You’re assuming a lot, too. [/quote]

I am responding to the poster who said that the posts show anger and contempt.  No need for assumptions.  She spelled it out.[/quote]
