Being a SAHM is not all it's cracked up to be. I think if you were to set a goal, i.e, stay at home until your kids are preschool age and you go back to work part-time, you may have a better chance of finding a mate who will support this goal. But that just comes down to communication: "so, do you want kids?" "yes, I want kids and I want to stay at home for the first 2-3 or 4 years and then go back to work PT" looks WAY better than "I want to be a SAHM forever."

I completely agree with this, especially since it's true.  Until you are staying at home with young children, you don't really and truly know if it's something you want to do and are good at.  I'm a SAHM with advanced degrees who never in a million years thought I would enjoy this life, but I do.  Yet my very loving and nurturing mom was pretty much raised to be a SAHM, but absolutely hated the isolation and put me in daycare even when the finances of that didn't make sense.  You just don't know for sure what will suit you best, so I wouldn't limit yourself in terms of a dating website for a lifestyle that you can't exactly try out and experience beforehand.

I agree with the posters who recommended finding a biglaw/corporate type, a man who travels often for work or a military spouse.  However, a lot of the men who could support this lifestyle financially are very ambitious and attracted to women who are highly educated and have a stable income themselves (even if they may desire that she give it up down the road for his children).

Keep doing what you are doing, excel at your teaching job and advance yourself as you can, save your money, and keep an open mind about your future.[/quote]
