[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My oldest is now in high school and I have witnessed many divorces, granted most divorces seem to have working moms. You don’t want to be left with no income.[/quote]

I think a lot of SAHMs put up with close to untenable relationships because they cannot afford to divorce. You're seeing the divorces in the working moms because they have the resources and chutzpah to call the shots and get what they want out of life. [/quote]

Counterpoint: I've had phases where I've been between jobs for a few months. It's been good for my marriage in many ways and we definitely manage to talk more about things other than logistics, which is a huge chunk of conversation when I am working. But this has never been long term for me and I know I have options, so I am probably more the working mom in this scenario than the SAHM. Just saying that not working frees up some space in my head to make my life more pleasant in some ways, including being able to be nicer to my spouse. [/quote]
