[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find this thread so positive and encouraging. Many threads on this topic end with posters claiming they would never go back because their DH is so rich. [/quote] A SAHP who returns to work after kids are in school = they still want to use their brain. Those who just continue at home = permanently lazy. Barring things that really suck up time like SN kids, eldercare, health issues.[/quote] That’s a really ugly comment. I work FT, never SAH, and I don’t think that my friends who SAH are permanently lazy. Also, maybe it’s true about the money. I make $200k and my DH makes more than that each month. My income adds almost nothing to our finances since we also have to outsource stuff that I could do if I SAH. I do feel like wanting to keep working is something I do for myself, and maybe a bit for our kids, since it’s not really a financial benefit. And while I get how privileged I am to be in this position, it is my reality. [/quote]
