[quote=Anonymous]That’s a tough one. I think it varies by kid. If your kid has a strong interest and aptitude (like maybe the med school one) l would say go for it. Why not? I see many doctors who work part time so maybe it’s becoming a decent career for people who are seeking work life balance. If your kid does not have strong interests or aptitude, then the next thing to consider is making sure they can support themselves. I would never advise a daughter to rely on a man to support her. Doesn’t mean you should advocate for only very high paid jobs, but at least a degree that leads to good job prospects. Then once she is earning her own money she can decide if she should step back or not to raise kids - maybe she will be the higher earner and he partner will be the primary parent who works part time, as is the case in my family.
