[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am not bashing SAHM but I wonder sometimes why any woman would want to be so vulnerable to be in the position of being a SAHM. If you have skills and 10yrs go by you will have to fight tooth and nail to get them back and get back out there. Marriages end and they end often so why throw all your eggs in one basket and hope for the best. Women with children need to be able to fend for themselves with or with out a husband/boyfriend and being a SAHM is a very vulnerable position to be in even if wealthy.[/quote]

Some women don't mind being vulnerable and some men simultaneously don't mind the responsibility of providing for a family. Not saying there is an objective correct answer to issue, but I wonder why people go into marriage while hedging against the possibility that the relationship won't go bad. Prudent? Yes, but can total trust exist without vulnerability? [/quote]

Well if you run the numbers it isn't worth the risk. Even if the stats aren't correct that 50% or all first marriages end in divorce that is a hell of a chance you take with yourself and potentially your children.[/quote]

Teasing the data out on this question is nearly impossible. Divorce rate for college educated couples is very low, but then you would need to adjust for college educated couples with stay at home moms.

[b]But there is a more significant problem: if you really think there is a serious risk that things aren't going to work out with your spouse to the extent that you could seriously end up in a bad position post-divorce, why would you ever have a kid with that person. "I don't trust you enough to quit my job but I do trust you enough to have kids with you." [/b]

Doesn't make sense to me. [/quote]

That is unbelievably naïve statement.
Bingo.[/quote][/quote]
