[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am kind of jealous. I think in many ways they have a much easier life because is simpler.

I somewhat enjoy my career but mostly view it as an ends to a mean. I find watching young children to be tedious and boring. Working is easier and I get paid.

My interests include working out, skiing, hiking, traveling, socializing and other activities. I don’t find playing with young kids to be fun. I could enjoy being a 1950s housewife where the kids play outside while mom keeps house. But today’s SAHM who is a glorified nanny? No thanks.

Honest question -- why have kids? Why not just say, I don't really like kids and am taking a pass? Life would be a lot easier without that massive ball and chain.[/quote]

Because it’s nice having a family. I don’t dislike kids.  I simply don’t want to spend the majority of my time watching young kids and doing things like playing legos.

Most wealthy people have full time help especially for childcare. Your average middle class SAHM is lying to you about enjoying staying home with kids. It’s simply better than the mediocre low paying job she had pre-kids.

No, we aren’t lying. I have a PhD and love spending time with my kids. I like taking them to do things— hiking, museums, camping, travel, etc. Also spending time with them at home. It’s weird that think that because you find it boring, everyone does. [/quote]
