[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Words like "parent"? Because that word would mean, to me, that the wellbeing and needs of the child come first. Taking a job which necessitates daycare and threatening the breadwinners income all IN THE MIDST OF choosing to divorce is a lot. It would be hard for me to justify that being in my kids best interest.

Initiate the divorce now, take the time to transition your child to daycare/deal with emotional fallout from divorce, and then once custody and alimony and child support are hammered out, get the RIGHT job for your new circumstances.

Where do you possibly get that this guy legitimately thinks his job is being "threatened" by his wife working? That's a really bizarre assertion to make, and I cannot really picture any set of facts where it's true.  Childcare can be paid for; it's not rocket science -- thousands of DC "big job" couples do it every day.  [b]One man does not have the right to unilaterally declare that his wife's unpaid labor must serve the child's best interests, while he gets to work. [/b] [/quote]

The only way that that bolded is true is if she was forced to be a SAHM against her will. You make it sound like "getting" to support two adults and children is a big treat. [/quote]
