If you could only pick ONE:
Would you rather be a stay at home mom with a husband who really loves and supports you, or would you rather be an independent career woman with a high paying/interesting job?

And why?

Definately a stay at home mom with a husband who really loves and supports me. What good does it do to make money if you have no one to share it with?

I would rather be a stay at home mom with a husband who really loves me. I would rather have the love and support then the high paying job. Money is not all that matters.

I would rather be a stay at home mom with a husband that loves and supports me. I learned a long time ago money and a career are not everything.

I would rather be a stay at home mom with a loving and caring husband because sooner or later when you are that successful, older career woman, you're going to get lonely. No amount of money can buy you the joy you get from your kids and husband. And with family, that's something you can call your own...

I would rather be a stay at home mother with a husband who really loves and supports me. See, I'm in college and in love. My boyfriend and I are both (19 yr old) virgins. I know he loves me and I really love him. We are planning on marriage after college. Both of us will have a degree and be well educated, but if his job can comfortably take care of me and any future children then I would gladly come off my job and stay at home to take care of my husband and our children.
Some women feel opposite they feel as if someone is taking something away from them when they cannot work. I look at things in the Bible's perspective and I know that a woman taking care of her husband and children in the home, is more important any day than a job- the husband likewise providing for his family is the way things ought to be.

I have had both worlds and have to say that I enjoy working and being involved with the community. I was a stay at home mom for 12 years and once our youngest started school fulltime I went to work and it is great. The only disadvantage I think is that its hard to juggle everything. You have to find the balance. Being at home all the time for the kids was nice, I did not have to depend on any one for help I was able to take care of all of their needs. But after awhile it just got old. I still have a husband that supports me and helps with the children now more that I am not home all day to take care of the house. It just makes life more challenging.

I've actually done both at different times during my marriage. I stayed at home with the kids, cooked, cleaned and did the whole soccer mom thing. Then the kids got older and went off to college. I went back to school and now work full time away from home. I still cook and clean, just not as much or as often. So if I had a choice I think I'd like to stay home as long as possible.

Women want both and should be able to have both.
However, I was in the second category, got married and kept working. Intended to go back to work shortly after baby came two years later. However, realized that there was NO way I was leaving this precious babe with anyone else, so have been a SAHM. Totally with more than enough support and help from my dear husband. Though I miss working, it has been more important to raise my child the proper way, our way - and husband is terrifically happy. He gets to come home every day to a very happy wife and smells of a beautifully homecooked meal!

If I had to choose for my wife, I'd chose the stay at home mom. And starting next week she's going to be a stay at home mom again, the kids miss having her around at night because she's scheduled to work evenings and she misses out on so much with the kids, and she misses the time with the kids and I.
And has her loving and supportive husband I work VERY hard to support her and the kids.
