[quote=Anonymous]We did not consider our daughters' viewpoints when making that decision, but we explain the fact that we both work the same way we would if one of us stays home - that we want them to be able to do what makes them happy in life. My parents both have/had (my mom is retired, my dad is not) careers that they love that paid them well and gave them flexibility to spend a lot of time with their kids. My husband's parents had jobs, not careers, that they hated and couldn't wait to leave. My husband and I have both gotten ourselves to the point where we love what we do and we're paid well and have a ton of flexibility. I want my daughters to be lucky enough to do what they love, regardless of what that is. And I say this as someone paying for private school tuition - I would not be upset if they ended up staying at home after college or grad school if that's what they choose. I just hope they're lucky enough to be able to make a choice.[/quote]
