[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can't make everyone happy if you're a woman. The on acceptable situation to everyone would be a mom with a flexible, good income, socially beneficial, intellectually stimulating job that is high level yet allows her great work life balance and time to volunteer and be in the door by 5. And of course, she would have a short commute. [/quote]

And yet I worked under the opposite of these conditions when I did not have children and basically sucked it up.  Once I had a kid and my household did not need my paycheck (note that these were two  seperate things), I wanted to give my child a lifestyle that we thought was best for my child, so I became a SAHM.

If my family needed my paycheck, I would have worked. Paycheck is about survival in the hierarchy of needs, being home with the child is an emotional benefit and is the next level up from the need for survival.  Many of my friends continue to work because they need the income.  Also, anyone's situation can change in an instance, being educated enough to get back to work is a good strategy.[/quote]
