    Re: Don't marry a career woman

    Yep. What Crawfish said. Parts of being the lone breadwinner are very difficult. Mostly the being broke all the time thing. But I wouldn't want it any other way.

    And I don't consider our situation better than any other. Just works for us.

    I would....I'd rather not be broke all the time but that's just the difference between you and me.

    This just proves the point that posting links without actually taking the 10 seconds to copy and paste the article is the suck.

    BTW, my wife stays home with our kids. Scoreboard!

    Re: Don't marry a career woman

    Mama Meathead is due to pop our first child in March. Mama Meathead makes a very comfortable salary. It makes no sense for a woman (or a man for that matter) to go back to work if all they are working for is to pay for daycare. However, if the additional income, after all baby expenses, is enough to justify it, then there is no problem with having both parents working in order to provide more for their children.

    There is nothing wrong with either situaton, so long as you take the time to spend with your kids.

    I agree with that somewhat.

    I think that my definition of "career woman" is probably a little different than his was though.

    so its okay that someone else is going to raise your child? Since they will be with the kid more than the parents?

    not saying this is bad, just saying, I don't get it.

    because kids don't start school until they're five and the first three or four years of their life are the most important. I'm assuming we're talking about kids too young to start school going to daycare instead of staying at home with mommy or daddy.

    seems like 0-5 is important in a childs development...

    and school is 8-3? I know some parents that drop their kid off at 7 and pick up at 6.

    well, i dont know what you draw your experience from, but from my very own perspective, the school years had a much bigger impact on how my kids turned out...i'm sure everybody is different
