[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even in families where a husband makes 7 figures there is whispering about wives not working.  Especially among in-laws, colleagues, and even school moms.  I’d bet she is trying to counter some pressure she feels.  No one really values mom work.  Also it’s very a risky choice because you may get screwed in a divorce as half people do.  So she has reason to feel insecure.  I don’t disagree with her sentiment as I am someone who earns much less to work part time, but I think women need to be careful about trusting a man to be a sole provider their whole lives.  It rarely works out that way.  Keep your toes in the career water while acknowledging the mom load is tremendous. [/quote]

Keeping your toes in your career is not possible or practical without working full time, for many of us. And that sucks when you’d rather be home raising the family you built. The smug mom was obnoxious. Most people don’t have spouses earning 7 figures and enabling them to stay home without financial sacrifices. [/quote]
