Sorry for the necro, but aye - wholeheartedly agree. However, I think that it's best for the children if someone stays home. If my relationship ever led to marriage (it's been three months, so while discussed, it's not as if I'm laying out wedding invites -anytime- soon. Many, many years before that), I would want one of us staying home. I have no problem with that one being me, I'd -love- to spend time with my kids, but A: she's already said that when she gets kids she's staying home with them, and B: to be fair, I probably have higher earning potential than her (just began an Electrical Engineering course, she wants to be a music teacher). I sorta envy the stay-at-home position, though. I'd love to be the nurturer.
