[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm glad you're not my daughter. I have no problem with someone being a SAHM (my daughter is) but to define that as your goal from the get go is sad.[/quote]

Why? Lots of women have led very fulfilled lives as wives and homemakers. I only wish I'd had the chance myself. My kids suffered. Now I wish I'd provided less in material things and more time and attention. My career, in retrospect, didn't amount to a hill of beans.

Because becoming a SAHM is something decided by partners in the context of a family, not a plan before you have met your husband.

Meh. People who know who they are before they get married can be honest about what they want and work towards finding a partner who can compliment that. OP might be a gold digger.
However, the implication that  women who decide they want to be stay at home moms before they get married are somehow flawed is a narrow minded one.[/quote]

A man is not a plan.  Marriage and motherhood are relationships, not a career.[/quote]

Some people want jobs not careers. I want to pay bills without giving my soul to the office. Unfortunately, I discovered that after I spent a ridiculous amount of time and money training for a career.[/quote]

That's fine.  I am a lawyer and feel the same way.  The point is, we can support ourselves.  Which IMO is an essential life skill regardless of whether you SAH.[/quote]

Do you agree that if you stayed home, you could easily train for a job if anything happened to the marriage or to your husband? For example, my mother went to nursing school at 45 and makes 100k now as a manager. [/quote]
