[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it far more troubling that you have a husband who makes 7 figures, yet you are afraid that he will deny his kids if you two divorce. That's really something you should address OP, not being a SAHM.

Coming from a SAHM, I really don't think you should do it. Not until you work through things with your DH. [/quote]

This exactly.  I don't doubt that my husband could cheat.  After all he's human, we fight on occasion, etc.   However I could never see him abandoning his kids.   He's an incredible father.  Well I guess he could do a 180 and completely abandon them.  But the chance if that is so infinitesimally small.  I would t stay working just because of that.   [/quote]

Even men that don't "abandon" their children, don't pay child support after their kids move out. They don't support a grown person that can support themselves. Just because you married somebody that makes 3x your income does not entitle you to that life style for life.

Grow up. If you don't work and divorce you are going to be living in West Virginia if you want a house or Frederick if you are okay with a town house.[/quote]

Not the PP, but your animosity is equal parts hysterical and pathetic.  No one here has stated that a SAHM is a SAHM for life.  No one's talking about receiving child support after their children have grown and moved out, for crying out loud.  You sound idiotic.

You also know nothing about the lifestyles of individual SAHMs.  Why would you assume where any of us would be living in the event of a divorce?  Clearly, you're speaking for yourself.  Doesn't sound like [b]your [/b]finances are particularly watertight.   :roll: [/quote]

No. I am a financial planner and most SAHMs think their exH should support their lifestyle after divorce with grown children. Many move to Gaithersburg/n.potomac. But most end up in Urbana. If they want a nice house they have to move further out. Some settle for a little shit shack. Sorry, the truth hurts. Being a widow is no different, a family will blow through a 1/2 M in no time at all.[/quote]
