[quote=Anonymous]My father is no Steve Jobs, but he had an executive job with some travel and he wasn't around as much as my mom when we were young. My mom was a SAHM and raised us. That was a pretty standard division of labor back in the 70's, and in some families (not mine) it's still the norm. I think for me, if I had vision, ambition and potential like Steve Jobs, I'd either not have kids or I'd find a less ambitious spouse to pull more weight at home. I don't happen to have his drive/vision, so I'm cool with a lesser role at work and pulling more of the weight at home. Having kids is an important job, but someone has to be out there doing things that improve the world and our lives. I don't think those two should be mutually exclusive things. (and frankly, if innovative geniuses don't have kids, what happens to the gene pool?)[/quote]
