As soon as my wife became Pregnant, she looked at me and said, I am done working, I am going to be a stay at home mom. I said great, no problem. We decided to homeschool, so she is now NEVER going back to "work" as far as she is concerned. Raising our children is much more satisfying to her then any job would be.

It makes me happy as well, I make the money, I come home to loving and intelligent children and usually a pretty happy wife. She LOVES her job, and let me tell you, IT IS A FULLTIME job!!!

I do my best to make sure that we can afford to keep it that way, but if the government doesn't quit taking 1/2 my paycheck, we're gonna have to move into an RV or something!! LOL And don't think we wouldn't if that is what it took to afford to keep my wife at home and my children homeschooled.

Man do I hear that. And, guess what? Bush's so-called "repeal" of the Marriage Tax-Penalty only applied to working couples who file seperately. A couple filing jointly with a stay at home parent still pays a higher tax rate than a single person making the same income. The practical result is that a "stay-at-home-mom" couple subsidizes the daycare tax credits for the working couples and the working single parents.

Even the republicans endorse feminist social engineering.

Bravo Aric, my husband feels the same way and as a wife who is homeschooling, I agree with your wife...I don't plan on ever going back and look forward to homeschooling and God willing the Lord will take us to old age, my husband and I retiring into grandparenthood together once the kids are done with homeschooling! I really don't ever see myself working out of the home again BY CHOICE!
