[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was important to both of us that I be home to raise the children we brought into this world. I didn't have kids so someone could be paid to raise them with their morals not mine.

There are some things you need to do in life. One is to raise your own kids.[/quote]

Why did your partner have kids, then? Your partner is not raising their own kids. Somebody else is raising your partner's kids. (And with their morals, not your partner's morals.) If one of the things a person needs to do in life is raise their own kids -- well, your partner's not doing it. [/quote]

I don't think you read or understood PP's post if you are equating marrying the love of your life and having children with them, making a mutual decision to have the woman you love provide the day in and day out care of the babies you brought into the world as  "someone else" raising your kids.  The idea is that you marry someone who you love more than anyone else on earth, share morals and values with them and believe they are the most amazing person you have ever met. You know, love and marriage. I know some of us are marriage veterans and a bit jaded and cynical, but this is the idea.
Not really akin to leaving a 3 month old in a center daycare.

OK, well I hope you guys have a ton of life and disability insurance, because if something happens to the love of your life and he can't work anymore, you are going to be in for a pretty rude awakening...[/quote]

Half of marriages end in divorce. Half. Good luck! May the odds be ever in your favor.[/quote]
