I have Juris doctorate, and my husband is international real estate, I just started working in a firm, I have friends that have children and they ask what I am going to do when I have kids, I tell them I am going to be a lawyer, and they ask me why I don't want to stay home with my kids. Why is it only me that is asked that, and why not my husband? Why is it the women who has to stay home? I mean I know it's good for the kids, and all this stuffl, but why me? Why don't they ask my husband to do it, or when he is going to quit his job?
I mean, a parent is a parent, when we have kids, we are going to split it up so that I am working part time and he is working part time, so that the kids have both parents. I just think it is so much better that way.
I grew up with just a stay at home mom, and a dad who worked all of the time, I would have much rather had both parents there. Babies need both mommies and daddies present.
Just don't understand why raising the children falls solely on me.
