Expectations on your children...

Wrt their working status/parenting as an adult?
If you SAH, will you encourage your daughter (or son) to do the same? How would you feel if they chose different from the path you have taken as a parent?

but where there is a will, there is a way. Go find a serious athletic or artistic training facility of any desicription, and hang around, talk to some people, get some numbers that can relate will and way for you. But psssst. The Olympic teams aren't chosen according to *will*. And the ballet schools don't accept that way either.
Actually, this particular thread was NOT about a lack of college education (nowhere was this mentioned). It was about taking care of oneself. FSW pointed out numerous examples of *how* she could take care of herself, and all but two involved working for a family member or accepting financial support from a family member. IMO, it is not supporting oneself if you have to rely on the generosity of others to provide you with a job or money.
So yes, she can provide financially for her children without the benefit of a higher education. But she cannot provide for them without some assistance from her family. If she had a higher education or work experience, this would probably not be the case.
The worl;d is FULL of examples that disprove OP123's point.
LOL. THat is TOOO funny.

Naturally, dh & I don't have those issues.
