Hmmm, I'm not quite sure of your BS comment. My brother-in-law was complimenting my sister on how good of a mother she was and for having the patience to stick with raising their kids. I am a career woman (uck, not my choice, but I am single), and I can leave my job worries at work when I go home at night. Being a mom (and to an extent a dad) is a 24/7 proposition. I look forward to the day I get married and can have babies and raise them myself.

When we had our son and my wife announced that she wanted to stay at home, I did not know how wonderful the arrangement would be. We had less, but in retrospect we realize we both won the lottery. Keep to your plans Utah.

Our young man (and Eagle Scout) is college bound next year and it was extremely important that he got the 24/7 support as he grew. When my wife could finally return to work (when he was in school) it still seemed that there were things the family needed that could best be done with a free parent. And we never had a latch-key boy to worry about.

My bad, I read it the wrong way. I took it as the other way around. I'm still working on this whole reading thing.
