[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"we never could have afforded to have kids unless I worked"

and maintain the lifestyle you wanted you mean?

basically, when women say this, unless you're telling me he makes like $25,000, you're basically saying that you have chosen luxury items and cash over spending more time with your kids.

Um, no.  When we had our child DH was making $65K and we lived in DC.  Yes, I suppose we could have lived in a one-bedroom shit hole somewhere but yeah, I didn't bust my ass getting two degrees to basically live no better than I did growing up.  And my mother didn't kill herself raising me for me to live hand to mouth, paycheck to paycheck either.  Check your fucking lifestyle judgment bullshit at the door.  If you think struggling is glamorous, go for it.  I don't live some fancy lifestyle, but I'm not going to live like I'm 25 forever with no savings, no retirement funds, etc etc.  So bite me.[/quote]

[b]you don't have to live in DC, btw.  $65,000 is more than plenty to live in the far suburbs and provide.  You could work part time and supplement.[/b]
You got your two degrees, amazing job btw!, so you could work hard and be an achiever.  Good for you.  But you should have realized that when you did that your $65k man would look like a schlub to you afterwards.

Moms should teach their daughters that the pussy dries up when you think you're above your man.

which includes being able to boss him into moving where you want.

Look, if you think, as OP said, life is just all about "providing," then as she said go for it.  There's a reason we push education and achievement in this country - because strong, thriving economies are dependent on it.  Mediocrity and "providing" doesn't build a strong country.  Just ask the communists.  But don't give OP shit for doing well for herself.  Her husband could be adding to his education and getting ahead at work.  It even sounds like he wants to, but maybe doesn't know how.  [/quote]

you know what you said can be translated into : "our economy depends on people being slaves to mortgages, student loans and trapped in their jobs so they keep spending and being good little consumers addicted to 'luxury' items"

who wants to be a slave?[/quote]

If you're not paying for a mortgage, you're paying someone else's.  I'd rather pay my own and have an asset to show for it, as opposed to supporting someone else's balance sheet. Just because you have a mortgage doesn't mean you've bought too much house.  Some of us are smart and buy what we can afford and what we need, nothing more.

What you said translates into "I am a communist and a fucking naive one at that."[/quote]
