[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why college educated women give up their career to be SAHMs honestly. I agree with PPs to go part-time rather than give up career entirely. There will be a time when you will want to go back.  Your kids will need you less later on.[/quote]

Because we made a poor choice for a spouse. Good at making money but not much else. Except now he’s mad that the kids are older, my life is easier and he wants me to jump back in full time with no change to his life. It was nice when they were small but I don’t recommend the situation I’m in at all. It’s the only thing we fight about. And he thought it was a great idea at the time, and all the years it was hard. But he’s all “what have you done for me lately?”[/quote]

Well if you married an ass you might regret it.  But if you are happily married, they support you as SAHP.  They recognize the benefits they get in life and at work for being able to more fully focus on their job (no staying home with a sick kid when you have a SAH spouse---no rushing to do the daycare pickup by 6:30pm so that your kid isn't the last kid and you are not billed $25/minute).  They realize the weekends and evenings go much smoother when someone is home.  They realize they can travel and do whatever they want in their job, without a second thought to "is my spouse traveling that week as well?  can I go on this business trip or do I need to be home this week" [/quote]

They screw over people who actually want a work/life balance and equality in their relationship, due to their workaholic tendencies.

This is why I will not work for people with SAHWs. They have no life or responsibilities other than work, and think no one else should either.[/quote]
