Re: be honest

[dancing_clown]

OK, I misread up there where you said "It's not that I don't respect it (I couldn't do i) but it's more the part about being an adult who is still financially dependent on someone else in this context."

So, apologies on that, but you do really seem to be pushing this idea that people who make these choices are somehow less-than. They're not living up to their potential. They must not have any ambition. They must not have any passion. (Slight inference: They must be lazy for not turning their contentedness with raising their kids into a teaching or day care career.)

And that is just, I find, not the case for a lot of people.

Re: be honest

You're making a few assumptions.

The financially dependent thing was relevant to the original question, which was'well do you have any thoughts about what you'll do if that doesn't work out?'

The ambition statement was originally more general: I do indeed not understand it if people have no ambition. I do think this is true for at least some stay at home parents, though, if I'm honest. But it's also true for some bank employees.

I didn't infer they were lazy, it's more about limiting yourself, I guess. Why would you stick to just that if your ability to take care of kids gives you skills you could use for other things, too? And why not take into account the job market at all, if only for later?

Re: be honest

It's been said before by other people, but because you have no desire to take care of other people's kids?

I guess the long and the short of if is you don't have to want to do it, you don't have to understand it, but looking down on it in the way that seem to be doing is very judgmental in a bad way.
