[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my observation there are two main factors that lead to mothers leaving the paid workforce: 1) A husband/partner with a rigid job requiring long hours, lots of travel travel, and/or unpredictable scheduling; 2) 3 or more kids. [/quote] Even more predictive, in my observation, is if one partner has a job that they are not invested in and/or would like to make a career change from. If staying home with your child seems more enjoyable than your job, and if you don't care about getting back to your job/career after a period of time off, and if the family can get by one one income, then being a SAHP, at least for a few years, makes sense.[/quote]
