[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a popular opinion, but I truly hope so.  I think having a parent at home makes life less stressful for everyone. Unfortunately, we have created an economy that makes it difficult for most families.  But if you can swing it, I think it’s so beneficial. [/quote]

I don't think having a parent at home necessarily makes life less stressful; it's too dependent on personalities, financial situation, life circumstances, etc.  I think what often gets lost is that there are many jobs that are middle of the road- good (but not great) pay, less stress, and normal working hours.  But you wouldn't know it from reading DCUM- you're either working for $40k a year or you're working 80 hours a week for $500k.

If someone wants to stay at home and can legitimately make it work to everyone's satisfaction, then more power to them.  I just hope that employers and managers remain conscious of the fact that not every employee has a SAH spouse who can carry the slack like the employers and managers have in their own lives.[/quote]
