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

"Why wouldn't it be better to have two involved parents?"
Of course having two invovled parents is better. Do you think that only a family that has dual WOHP have two active parents?
I certainly own up to raising my children and as one of those of who who believe that others are helping,

no, you haven't clarified pka's q any better for me. *shrug*.....being a good parent within a household is not a competition. the fact that one may have the privledge and fortune to have one sahp and one wohp means just that. period.
a compatible relationship isn't about one side parenting better or worse than the other side. it's about laying all cards on the table and finding out what situation best fits your family. for some, that means two dual parents with usually a middleman to help raise that child; to others, that means having one (usually the mother) sah and the other woh without a third wheel.
That's exactly the question.

How did you come to that conclusion? So, if a mother sah and a father works they have widely different parenting views. Hmmm, that does not make sense to me at all. My dh and I have very similar parenting ideas. Just b/c I sah and he works we have different parenting ideas on what makes a good parent. It was important for us to have one of us at home. I really wanted to be at home and he made 3x the amount I made. I do not stay at home b/c I think that makes the best parent. He does not woh b/c it makes him the best parent. It just works and b/c it does we feel that we are better parents for our children.
Besides, there is soooo much more that goes into what I think is a good parent.
