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?

BTW, I had a child when I was 18 y/o. Although I married her father, who turned out to be a compulsive closet gambler, I raised her primarily alone. While raising her, I put myself through university. I know very well how difficult it can be establishing yourself as a parent. It is NOT impossible however. Having a child dependent upon me motivated me more than anything else could have. For me, having a child early is probably the single most contributing factor to my success.
I do have other marketable skills. Thanks again for your help in this thread of people who just don't get it.

My mother could have been totally different and be living next door & us in a loving relationship today. I still would not have went to college because I chose not to go.
He didn't have much earning potential other than working for his parent's (which was fine, but not something he knew he wanted to spend his entire life doing) when we got married! He decided his career AFTER we said I do and was back from honeymooning!
