[quote=Anonymous]I would quit my job if I won the lottery, so I can't really relate to the people who get a strong sense of self from their work.  But I don't know if I would stay home if my husband was my lottery ticket without a post-nup.  We have a really good division of labor in our house, where our daughter sees both of us doing everything, which is intentional and something we discussed even when just dating.  I would also worry about resentment on the part of the working spouse, just because I feel like unless you think "work/stay home is what men/women are supposed to do" then it's natural to feel stressed/resentful when all the financial worry is on your head.  I know there are families where that's not a concern and I think that's really impressive but I'm not sure I'm built for it personally.  (DH probably moreso but not perfectly.)

Anyway if you think SAHMs are intellectually incurious or worthless or you think WOHMs don't love their kids or aren't hot enough to bag a provider, you're a certifiable nut job.  We're all doing the best we can, and we were all very different people to begin with.  The only people I look down on are the ones screaming at each other here.[/quote]
