Yikes at this thread. Never give up your job to stay home, ladies! You need to look out for number one. [/quote]

Well, the problem is, the SAHM role does not get enough respect.  Think of the myriad jobs a SAHM does and consider all the people you hire to replace what a SAHM does.  I sometimes feel as though the feminist movement eliminated SAHM as a choice for women in that the concept of alimony seems to have gone away.  IMO this role should be a viable option for a man or a woman and it should be protected under the law.  A woman or man dosesn't stay home with the kids without the consent of the other partner.  That was a choice that partner also made, and the consequences of one partner out of the workforce should not be a burden only that one person has to bear.[/quote]

See above what men write: you have to work at 48! As if there is an abundance of well paying jobs available to a SAHM  after a long gap with employment. These men are totally self centered and disconnected from reality. 
If I was playing my marriage history again, I would not have stayed at home and supported his traveling career without a stone clad postnup[/quote]

A lot of men and women have to work at 48. There is no free ride in life. Yes, if you didn’t keep your career you need to start over again. That’s why I was upfront while dating that I plan to have and keep a career. Not doing so when the divorce rate is 40% is ignoring reality.[/quote]

Ignoring reality is to think that your life will be standard and you won't need ever at any point take a break from career. You can have a SN child, 3 kids, sick parents etc. This is why there is an alimony mechanism imbedded in the laws[/quote]

You can stop before 3 kids. As for the rest, how does a guy do it? Not by quitting his job, that’s for sure. Look at how men live their life and learn from it. They always — and I do mean always —[b] put #1 first. [/b]Women are frankly delusional if they think that sacrificing themselves for anyone is going to be a good deal in this day and age. You get a contract first or don’t play.[/quote]

This right here.  [/quote]
