Now that kids are in school my salary, which is higher because of raises and promotions, is a great addition to the family budget.  And I have a healthy TSP growing.

Instead of thinking of daycare coming out of mom's salary, why not think of it as a family expense from the overall budget including dad's salary?

NP. Because it's a cost that only exists with both parents working. For accounting purposes, it comes out of the salary of whoever would be the one to stay home. It's just basic economics, no reason to make it a feminist stand.[/quote]

I agree with you. That poster says the same thing in every post relating to this.[/quote]

Are you really that stupid that you can't see how sexist this is?  Damn.[/quote]
When a dad can stay home and breast feed his children then maybe it won't be sexist.  But until then, there are differences in the sexes.  Or do you really want males and females to be totally equal?  Give away your unique female abilities?[/quote]

News flash: lots of working moms breastfeed. I did until 18 months.[/quote]
Not saying it isn't possible to pump and store milk.  But statistically speaking most mothers drastically reduce or completely stop breast feeding after returning to work.  Which is a poor choice health wise for your child.  And there is nothing a Father can do to produce their own milk.  Is that sexist?  Or is that just biology?[/quote]

Frankly, whether another family chooses to breastfeed or not is none of your business, is what it is.[/quote]
