[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bet the answer would depend on how old the kids are.  I assume there are probably lots of men who might wonder what their wives do all day, once the kids are in school full-time.  I know my guy friends have wondered this aloud to me.  But when the kids are really young, it's cool for the wives to be home with them.

it would probably also depend on the salary that's not being earned.  a $30K earner isn't going to have much impact on the family if the husband makes a lot, but a $100K salary could make a big difference.[/quote]

Nope. Not in this house.  I didn't stay at home until the older kids went to school.  One of my school-aged sons threw up this morning.  You can bet that my husband, away on business, doesn't want to deal with that.   It seems like there is always a snow day/ doctor's appt/ after school sports/illness, especially when you have three kids.

Agree.  I am a SAHM of 4 school age kids.   While I am sure my husband would love the extra income, h[b]e literally wouldn't know how to handle things like snow days, needing to pick up the kids early if they got sick,[/b] etc.   He has always had me around to take care of that.[/quote]

I find that sad. Do you not?[/quote]
