people have to make the decisions that are right for them, not for other people. unless that decision is harmful to the person, or others, i dont judge them.
My wife is a SAHM and I think it's awesome she is. I'm also very thankful my job affords us that ability. We often talk about what she'll do once all three kids are school age, and she has mentioned a few different goals and ambitions, but her first goal is to be a SAHM. There is something awesome about someone who will make the well being of others her primary career focus, and I'm happy to have found such a person.
If her passion in life is to predominantly raise the children and keep a happy healthy home, more power to her.
Alternatively if her passion is career oriented and that is where her ambitions and drive take her more power to her.
It's not an either or situation, as such I don't think any less or more of either situation.
What's with the poll? It's more attractive for some, and not attractive to others. Does it really matter which you are? Would you consider changing your ambitions in order to score yourself a spouse? Wow, people are very desperate around here.
The only time I think these women are idiots when they think it's the hardest job while they spend all day online, the kids are in school and they don't cook and clean. The majority of the SAHM I know are lazy. I also think it's something that the person should think carefully about before they do it. Having said that if a parent wants to stay at home (either gender)while the child is a baby and before school and the parent does the other things like cook and clean then it makes sense, especially if the parent would spend more than they'd make.

Excuse me? Its a question on a popular topic in a relationship forum. Youre looking a little too deep into a question and youre making an inappropriate assumption about the pollster merely because I asked a question. Theres no motive I have to change to suit the responses of a poll. I don't know what insecurity you have to speak against someone you don't know, but if you don't want to answer nor discuss then please dont jack my thread with insults.
No I wouldn't think less of her, because I would get to save the money that we would have otherwise spent on child care 5 days a week. And if she works part time, even better because we'd be saving money on child care and have a supplemental income. So Yiuppy, to me it makes sense from a nurturing AND economic point of view.

Apologize if I hit a tender spot, not intending to "jack" a thread, but.....
I am curious why anyone would post a poll, when only a tiny number of readers actually vote. As a matter of fact, if a poll is read hundreds of times, and voted on less than 20, that's a better indication what relevance the topic has to members of the forum.
