[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would simply acknowledge the benefits of having a parent stay home.  Then raise your very valid (!) concerns and why families usually need both parent to work.  Depending on your earning capacity, I would ask if he would want to stay home if it's so important to him.  Presumably, he would say no for x,y, z reasons and you say "I feel the same for x,y,z reasons."  He will either drop it and acknowledge that he needs to read up on gender dynamics.

I personally would not stay home nor have my spouse stay home.  I have worked my ass off for my career and would not be a good SAHM. Also I make more money.  Finally, I would be disgusted if my husband assumed that i should be the stay at home parent because i was a woman. I probably wouldn't raise kids with him. [/quote]

Well, but see - I don't see anything in your little essay here about your actual children, their feelings or their needs. So, please, don't have them as odds are their lives will be, or are, miserable.[/quote]

Wow, it took until page 5 for the mommy wars to start.[/quote]

But it's not 'mommy wars' - she says she wouldn't want her DH to stay home with the kids either. She wants them both working long hours. This is not a great environment in which to raise children. The world is way over populated and there is no reason to have them if you want to keep working nonstop. Even if you're rich and have servants the kids always end up having issues when there is little parental contact or interest. [/quote]
