[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a SAHM married to a surgeon with a very demanding career. I had a great job for 10 yrs, saved a lot of money pre-kids, and supported DH through med school. DH is religious/ traditional and we always knew we wanted a bunch of kids and I wanted to be a SAHM with them. DH is very career focused and so appreciative that he has been able to give 1000% to his career, never has to worry about missing work due to kids getting sick, snow days, random daycare closures, or the A/C technician coming to the house on a random Tuesday, and he has a hot meal and clean laundry waiting for him when he gets home from a 12+ hr day. He’s often on call or working late into the night, and can also go to big conferences/travel, and never has to worry about getting home to pick up kids or bedtime.

OP, [b]I think you can absolutely find the right person who wants the same lifestyle as you, it can work[/b], but I agree with being upfront about what you want before you get married and have kids. I know too many moms who are heartbroken sending their 3mo to daycare when they want to stay home with them, but financially they just can’t. You’re still young, work hard, build your career, save your money, and find the right person.

No, there is no guarantee that OP will find the right person who wants the same lifestyle. All the advice given by people who have not dated and looked for a job in the past 2 years should be taken with a huge grain of salt. Millennials have the lowest age-adjusted marriage rates than all previous generations. Young men barely want to pay for dinner anymore, much less financially support an entire family.[/quote]
