[quote=Anonymous]I like SAHM as much as WOH moms. Pros and cons to both. My PERSONAL experience is such that I never, ever, was going to be financially dependent on another person. My mom had a law-degree (not super common in her time), and decided to stay at home as soon as I was born. Fast forward, dad got sick and had to retire, and we struggled greatly with her getting back into the work force. They never recovered financially. I was fully aware of our financial challenges, it affected me greatly, and it was a huge burden to bear as a kid. If she had stuck with her career, we never would have been in that position. Same result can happen in a divorce. Point being, I have absolutely nothing against women or men who decide to stay at home. I just hope, for their sake, that life continues as they plan because a lot of hardship could be avoided by staying in the work force if something does happen that's unanticipated.[/quote]
