I'd have to agree, although I had the best of both
worlds, a job flexible enough to allow me to do
everything my youngest did. My oldest, I was not so
lucky with. I worked full time, was a single mom and
yet, he still turned out more than OK.
Now he and his wife have decided they will find a way
for her to stay at home. She was laid off and that has
given them the time to work this out since she is
looking, but is also collecting unemployment at this
time. Since she was laid off I have seen the stress on
their marriage cut in less than half and although
she's always been a nice person, she is more organized
and she even calls him honey now. She has patience
and has the time to do things with their 3-year-old
she's never had time for before. Their daughter is
adopted and they worked so hard to get her I hated to
see her have to leave her and go off to work.
My daughter, expecting any day, and her husband have
decided unless there is absolutely no way around it
she will not be going back to work either. I support
stay-at-home moms 150 percent if they can possibly do
it. We worked really hard at this women's lib thing,
but my biggest feeling was always I wanted to make the
world a better place for my daughter so she would have
the opportunity to decide what she wanted to do.
Congratulations on your decision.
Susan
