"SAH doesn't support change, it supports going backwards to the 1950's,"

Statement in a post below.

I wholeheartedly disagree. To me, SAH is a choice. How is that going back to the 1950s, when a lot of women didn't have much of a choice.

Is not being able to BF as long as one would like a good reason to quit WOH, IYO?

I've forgotten, is your DH on an 75% or 80% schedule also?

No, of course not. Not for me anyway.

Where do you live, that $1300 on a one bedroom apartment covers even rent, much less other necessities?

If you don't work with your kids, what do you do with them all day long?

How in the world do you save for retirement (not to mention college for all those kids) on that kind of income?

"reason being that in order to be really cut throat and dedicated in a career field, you have to put your job before anything else..."


Again, I knew this was your point.

"you may work the same hours, but i'll garuntee you that your DH's employer would not allow him to leave early for the kids to comensate for the longer commute. he's expected to make that commute for the sake of his job. i'll bet you yuor emplyer would allow you to do it though. (within reason of course)."


You are totally and completely wrong.
