[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You won't regret it.

Your kids are the most amazing thing you will ever create.

Trust me, that once they are teens and young adults leaving home, you will look back not regret one moment you put them first.

I have never met a mom who looked at her adult children and wished that she had spent more time at her job and less time with her kids.

If you are able to tighten the family budget to spend a few precious years with them while they are young, either as a full time stay at home mom, or through a part time or flexible gig job, do it.  It might be hard in the moment, but you won't regret it looking backwards.[/quote]

My mother left the workforce to look after us in the early 80s.  She regretted it and told us never to leave the workforce.  She went back when I was in 5th grade, the youngest in 2nd.  She said she always felt she had more to contribute there and was never given the opportunities because of the time off.  So you can speak for yourself.  I'm an example of an adult whose mom stayed home and doesn't think like you do.  I actually agree with her perspective.

I like how you so casually drop what is maybe the most hateful, misogynistic thing I have ever read on this board. I hope I don’t know you in real life. [/quote]

Yep, its pretty misogynistic and hateful.  Yet so relevant and true to politics today...  you probably don't know that you know so many women (and men) with this view.  Society has taught them well what to say (and what not to say) out loud.  Your  husband might be one of these people.  He'd never tell you because it wouldn't serve his interests.  Maybe he's smarter than you.[/quote]
