SAH doesn't support change,
| Sat, 08-26-2006 - 4:58pm |
"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.

I do miss things, but not "my childrens' childhoods."

Maybe you should read an ENTIRE post before you respond to it. If you had made it past the first sentence, you would have seen this:
She also didn't go to college. Yet all three of her children have at least one advanced degree.
And your dh's experience aside, she most certainly DID influence us to go to college. So much so that we all got post-graduate degrees.
the million dollar question is whether or not you would have pursued college if *both* of your parents weren't college educated...my dad earned a masters. mom dropped out of college to marry and become a mother. so in my world,it was dad's influence and example that motivated all 5 siblings and me to pursue college,not so much mom even though they were both on the same page when it came to value of education and all.
there is nobody in dh's family with a college education....his inspirations and interest to pursue college came from something else,not his family.
I think I would have gone to college even if my mom hadn't, because my dad was adamant about it.
Neither of my parents had a masters degree (in fact, nobody in my immediate or extended family did), but both my parents influenced my choice to go to law school.
