For all the stay at home moms, yes I'm one of them. I have one question, do you plan on going back to work once all of your children are in Elementary school? Or do you like staying at home and have decided to never work again? I am just curious, my husband and I have talked about it. I am mainly home just for my kids, to be here when they come home from school is nice, but, I tend to get bored easly, so I have decided once my 3 year old enters into Elementary school, I will be going back to work. I have thought and thought about this, my husband is fine if I decide not to work or if I decide to go back and work. We are financially stable so I can choose to stay home if I want. I would be working so i won't be bored, while the kids are at school all day long. I do plan on working part time, so i can be home when they get home from school. I'm not the type to sit around and do nothing all day, right now my kids are home half the day at least my 5 year old is, so I have her, and my youngest to be home for. I just can't envision myself sitting here all day long with no children around, going gee what do i do now, ain't gonna happen.

I'm done rambling, waiting for replies!!!!

Judges don't make all that much money. Most private practice lawyers would have to take a pay cut, often substantial. Money concerns aside, being a judge is not something every lawyer wants to do.

Nope, no restrictions at all....I think teaching is a great profession at any level from birth to whatever and is not limited by gender.

Oh my. I couldn't disagree more. I think all children benefit from having male elementary school teachers as well as female teachers. Do you really think male teachers can't handle potty accidents or meltdowns? That's incredibly sexist! Does this mean your husband never dealt with potty accidents or meltdowns? Or is that a 'woman's job', in your opinion?

Because he works with phyically/mentally handicapped adults instead. When we homeschooled, he was just as much the girls' teacher as I was. And as far as parenting goes, he was as much hands-on as I was. The only thing he didn't do was breastfeed.

Just throwing this out there in cyberland: Dh changes adult diapers. It's part of his job along with baths, feeding, and pushing wheelchairs.

With the exception of income, you are discribing our marriage. The girls say that it's weird to have not only parents who are still married after 33 years (next month) but we very seldom argue--we just have minor disagreements and usually can come to a compromise or the one who who cares less lets the other one "win" if it's important. If it's not important (to us), such as politics, we agree to disagree and vote our own conscious.

LOL Thanks for the laugh. My dear departed fil would have loved it. He became a lawyer in his 50's and loved lawyer jokes.

No, it's just that only women know how to use the Magic Telescope.
