Wow, stayed out of this thread for many reasons.
My wife stayed home since day one. She looked after the three kids. She knew more about education than most, if not all, teachers out there. She researched everything. Anyway, I worked and left all the money stuff to her. She was amazing at saving money. We both decided it was the best thing. You can't put the safety and well being of the kids above all else. I got the better part of the bargain. I worked my ass off while she looked after everything else. Her job was, by far, the hardest.
It was tough at times, like when mortgage rates were at 16%. Ouch. It hurts just thinking about it. But we managed on a single income and looking at how my children turned out, I couldn't be happier. My eldest son makes way more than I ever did and the other two are doing fine. They're all 30+. If you can manage it somehow, do it. Raise those kids yourselves. Okay, maybe not. I've seen some scary parenting in my day. Those parents who are into themselves............... nuff said.
I know, I know, times are different.
