I agree.  So much so, that my husband and I made it a priority to have one of us at home during all of these stages.  [/quote]

Which one of you?[/quote]

In our family we chose the person who carries and nurses the baby. We also chose the person who needed the money, whereas I didn't;. Men deserve the right to be financially secure, as well. [/quote]

So, [b]"My husband and I made it a priority to have me (the wife) at home during all of these stages"?[/b][/quote]

So what's wrong with that?  Have you not noticed a rather large tendency among all species for the mother to be the primary caregiver?  Are we to assume that's just meaningless?[/quote]

If you what you mean is, "We made it a priority to have the mother at home", then you should say that, not "We made it a priority to have one parent at home".

(Also, yes, I do actually consider it rather meaningless to my life decisions that among (for example) cats and grizzly bears, mothers are the primary caregivers. Just as you presumably consider it meaningless to your life decisions that among many birds, both parents are equal caregivers, and that among many amphibians, reptiles, and fish, neither is a caregiver at all.)[/quote]
