I cannot wait until the day I get to stay home and have kids. Until then, I will work and try to pay off as many bills as possible to make that future life easier.

Kaylee (love the screenname btw) I've seen you around - I think we're similar aged young women. My mom stayed home with us, and she was often looked down on by other women. Of course she laughed at them. But women my age are 'allowed' to see home-making as a perfectly acceptable alternative to the high-powered career.

I'm finishing up at grad school. My field, computer science, doesn't have many women, and the one female professor I know is somewhat horrified that I'm "giving up" academia and getting married. But the few other student women I know think I've got a great plan. Work for a year or two, start the family, stay home, raise them, homeschool, and quite probably work from home, consulting or something. The key is to not get trapped into the two-income game, I think. I really like the idea!
