[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My youngest is 10 and DH wants me to work full time. I don’t want to. Has anyone successfully changed a spouse’s mind on this? Our lifestyle is modest and I am not spendy. We have plenty of money. I just want to be there for the kids, keep the house organized and cook dinners in peace. Is that so bad?[/quote]

With this Covid I would have quit to be home with them. Especially now things may get worse in the fall/winter. Plus OP you can always find work in your lifetime, but your kids are only young once. Enjoy the time with them. Something I did, and the best decision I made.[/quote]

Of course, they’re only young once. But the whole point of them growing up is so they can move out and be a productive citizen in society. What does it matter if you aren’t with them the whole day?  I was an only child who had to entertain and play by myself and turned out fine. I’ve published research and am in a respectable profession with no weird abandonment issues like what DCUM seems to think of children who don’t have their parents’ attention 24/7. Children need to learn to be self- sufficient and not think the world revolves around them.[/quote]

Sounds like you're making excuses for parental neglect and refusal to give you a sibling.[/quote]

I’m not making excuses. I think a lot of what parents worry about is greatly exaggerated. You don’t have to agree with me but you do you.[/quote]
