[quote=Anonymous]I loved being a SAHM, but do caution anyone choosing to do this to get a post-nup in place. I quit my job at 36 to stay home. After 22 years of marriage, I left my husband after discovering his affair. I am now a "single" mom of a 14 year old. The courts do not give any credit to you for staying home, sacrificing your career trajectory, losing your skills, etc. Alimony today is usually only for a few years while you get back on your feet. I would suggest setting up a post up that provides you with support and compensation in the case of a divorce. I hate to sound like a bitter old crone, because I am not. But any SAH parent needs to be wise and protect themselves. Even knowing what I know now, I'd do it again. I loved being at home with my child.[/quote]
