And your dh made enough $$ to support both of you comfortably, do you think you would be working?

Choose your friends by their character and your socks by their color. Choosing your socks by their character makes no sense and choosing your friends by their color is unthinkable.
I use to call my sister the Mother Gorilla because she would not put her first born down. No one could hold

Me either.

If not much difference between best and second best in the long run, then I guess second best would be ok to me. I disagree that sah and woh are not very different when it comes to children. I'm not sure about "the long run" and I support woh, but I think sah is the best choice when it comes to my children.
I honestly don't care how my friends, family and neighbors parent. I want mine "in the long run" to be Harvard-educated neurosurgeons. But I want to also live for the moment and make the best choices I can now.
As a side thing, I bf each of my 3 for the 1st yr. I would've happily ff. But the AAP, everybody and everything I read, and even the formula companies said bf for 1 yr is best. So I did it. I still am not convinced it's best and I think in 20 yrs "they're" going to say, bf is just as good as ff. But, I weighed everything and hope I did what's best for my children.
Even if I were raising children a generation ago, I know I would've opted out of smoking and strapping a child to a chair for potty training, just because of my common sense. The other things may've been arguable, but I can't say.
"Who said it was the exact same? I can see why you like her, you don't see the point either. The point being choices are choices....just because I choose to do something other than how you raise your children like ptwoh or bf a shorter amount of time...doesn't make me or my child better or worse than you....just different."
