[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The amount of income a family needs for one parent to stay home varies with the family and their priorities. There is no set answer, every family just has to decide on where their own balance point is between spending money and spending time.

Yes.  It's a your numbers thing not a set amount someone else has.  Like retirement. If you can swing it, you do it. Your numbers not someone else's.

We have no mortgage, no vehicle loans, no credit card debt, no student loans. [b]I never liked the idea of working and paying some stranger to raise my kids[/b]. [/quote]

So you don't send your children to school?[/quote]

Yeah the judgement is disgusting.[/quote]

It's also strange because childcare is needed for such a short period of time.  I had six months off of leave and my child will start prek at 3.5.  So this means the child is "raised by someone else" for three years.  That's besides the fact I have weekends, don't work long hours and take plenty of vacation. [/quote]
