[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SAH moms get bashed on DCUM all the time for being lazy, unmotivated, or worse. The reality is often much different.

Imagine that you met your spouse in grad school when you were both young and ambitious. You fell in love, got married, and decided to take the next step and have a family after a few years on the job. Baby arrives and Mom is instantly Mommy-tracked by her bosses. Dad's career takes off and he feels pressure to work more. Travels more, takes on more responsibility at work, and income continues to rise. Moms career gets stalled because she can't travel as much or work til 10 pm. Baby #2 arrives and Mom SAH because she makes a fraction of spouse and DH is working all the time. Add in taking care of aging parents. Life happens, and not always as we planned.

Allowing this model to continue is terrible for both the future of our sons and daughters.

Men need to raise their kids and stop using work as an excuse. [/quote]
Doesn't matter who it is, but, if one parent is travelling a lot then stands to reason the other parent will have to step up more.  Hard to do when the other parent is also working a demanding job.[/quote]

Or the traveling parent will need to scale back so the other parent does not become a single parent.
