[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am confused as to dependent argument here. SAHM since June here, so yes technically, I am dependent on my husband's income. That is what it is and I don't see any problem with it. However, my DH is not a jerk and this is our mutual decision that makes him more happy than me. Not for sexist reasons, my teen DD has ADHD and has made some irresponsible choices(nothing huge) and we both feel that she needs somebody to be with her.  Issues were when she was home alone in the afternoons due to us both working and having to travel for work.[/quote]

Of course you could have handled your teen DD's time after school differently, without giving up your job, if you and your DH had wanted. [/quote]

My DH works overseas, has for past two years and will for another two. How should we have handled it? Working overseas is not by choice, the only choice would be him quitting and giving up a good job and good retirement. Do tell me what we should have done?[/quote]

Hired someone to drive her around while supervising her for the two or three hours after school before you got home is a possibility. I'm sure you did what you and your DH thought was best, I'm not questioning that, just saying each marriage works differently.[/quote]

Maybe so, but after reading the thread in teens about lawyers mom whose 12 year old is jealous of her work, which I see as a plea for having her mom with her, I am even more convinced that we made the right decision. I am not saying that some DCUM thread made my decision valid, just that there were many factors to take into consideration. I will most likely go back to work when I am sure that she is fine, sometimes teens need their parents around.[/quote]
