+1 best of both.  Your kid will be thankful that they have a fully funded college account when they start picking which colleges to apply to. They won't remember (or care) that you were not home with them all day when they were 4 or 5. [/quote]

Each family is different. Each kid is different.

I have a friend who is very successful and has 3 kids (two upper elementary and one middle). Her kids are all struggling and could really use my friend. One child is struggling both academically and socially. It stresses my friend out, but she says she has so much going on at work that she can’t deal with the kids. I’m not sure her kids will turn out well and in her situation,[b] a mom home would be better IMO than a fully funded college. [/b]

I don’t think it is all or nothing. What if mom was around and college is mostly funded.

I’m a SAHM and if that was the choice, I would work for college fund. DH earns enough so I can stay home and also pay for college, grad school, etc.[/quote]
This is a great example of why we need women working. So POS stop perpetuating this nasty stereotype[b]. “I’m not sure her kids will turn out well because she is working! She needs to be at home, barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen otherwise NO CHILD WILL THRIVE!” [/b]Gmafb. Studies show men with working moms are smarter, treat their partners better, are more likely to contribute to household chores and child raising. Instead of whatever bulls*** you are teaching, completely letting fathers and men off the hook. Maybe you should go sit in a corner and stop bringing us back to the ‘50s.[/quote]

Too bad your mom (or dad) wasn’t around more to help you with your English homework.  They could have explained what hyperbole means.

Also, please cite the studies that show men’s *intelligence* is directly impacted by the working status of their mothers.[/quote]
