[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never wanted to be a SAHM because I saw what happened when my uncle was killed by a drunk driver.  The life insurance money wasn't enough and they had to move, my aunt had to get back to work as a nurse.[/quote]

So you're going to work because your aunt had to work?[/quote]

well- i was raised in a culture where i was raised to be a sahm but i always wanted to have a career- i observed this happening to several women in my culture and i saw them struggling.  . I knew then that once i had kids i'd stay home with them but get a HUGE disability/life insurance and save a lot so if god  forbid something happens, i can stay home with the kids until they are in highschool. I think women should really lean in to their careers before they have kids  but really save up so they have a cushion in case the worst happens.  if you have no real interests outside of kids- wonderful, please go into education and teach! I think its wonderful that the pendulem has swung back to where young men realise that the domestic sphere and motherhood are life altering and  consuming and young mothers are  vulnerable and deserve support from them. Millenial men would split a cheese sandwich on a date and didnt know how to change a tire, that generation of men was very tiresome so i can understand why the hard reaction against it. [/quote]
