[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, I am. But it's not marrying "rich' I'm specifically jealous of, it's marrying someone who makes enough for the other parent to have a more flexible, part-time career or SAH. We live in a nice, MC to UMC neighborhood in a desirable school district. DH and I both have great jobs that pay well enough to live where we do and be able to save (which honestly, is anywhere around here). We would have to have one of the following factors in order for one of us to stay home or go part time: family money, early or lucky real estate investment, much more lucrative career. So I am jealous of the SAH moms (because it's all moms) in our neighborhood who leave the bus stop in the morning for their workout or morning dog walk, have time to pursue hobbies or homemaking during the day, are active at the kids' school, are home when the bus gets back, shuttle kids to enrichment or activities, and have flexibility for days off and summertime. Yet still seems to have nice clothes for themselves and their kids, take great vacations, have beautiful homes - so obviously aren't making sacrifices in order to stay home. Our family would really benefit from that and we have a lot of extra stress from trying to accommodate schedules and catch up on life stuff on the weekends.[/quote]

You might not see the tradeoffs being made.[/quote]
