[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. [/quote] 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] LOL, NP. I grew up in NYC, my mom and actress and my father a businessman. We had a nanny and my parents absolutely raised me. I know who my parents were and they set the tone. My parents raised us better than anyone else with an appreciation for music and the arts. We were surrounded by the arts, different and eccenteic people and our parents absolutely shaped us. Without giving much detail, my mother was not born an American and we spoke only her native tongue with broken English until we entered school, despite having a nanny. Our mothet was a powerful influense in our lives, despite her greuling career of show after show at night.[/quote]
