Did you make your decision to SAH/WAH/WOH ft/pt based primarily on objective/tangible factors, or with your heart?

What would you have done, if you had to go back to FT WOH when your children were 12 weeks, if you also wanted to continue long term breastfeeding?
And what about all the women who have to rtw when their babies are 6 weeks old, because that's when their paid leave ends?

"The WOHP is still raising their child/ren but they are taking on a secondary/shared role."
To whom am I secondary in raising my children?

"Personally I don't see equality in this regard to be necessarily a positive thing."
It definitely is for me and my marriage, and my relationship with the boys.

"He also feels very strongly about the male-as-provider role- it is important to him to be able to play that part."
That's a huge thing - I'd never marry a man with such an old fashioned, even neanderthal type attitude.
