[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Best decision I made in our marriage was to stay at home starting when our first of three was born.  I saw the way things were going fairly early on and recognized that although I could “have it all” with a career - it was going to come at a cost trying to balance everything.  Still happily married nearly 20 years later.  [/quote]

Sorry that you shortchanged yourself so that your DH could “have it all.” Not want I want for myself or for my daughters.[/quote]

NP. I worked when my kids were little, but so what if PP stayed home? If she's happy she had more time with her babies, then more power to her. You made more money but why do you feel the need to tear someone else down bc they didn't?[/quote]
Because PP thinks what kids want is money and not time with their parents. FWIW I think it would be a great world if both parents who wanted to could work 25-30 hours per week and actually spend time with their families. I don't think it's a bad lesson for little humans to learn that there is more to life than work (especially the mostly meaningless work most of us on this board do that enriches other people), and that your life is not your job. Your identity is not your job. If it is, you have bigger issues.[/quote]

You must have young kids. I was lucky to spend an hour at most per school day with my teens, and it had nothing to do with me working and everything to do with their school day, homework, sports and other activities and social life.[/quote]
