Nice to hear that.

I am a female physics major who's graduating this year from my college and then going over to the local University to get a Master's in Electrical Engineering. My reasoning is simple. I want to get married, have kids, and stay home with them; unfortunately, I'm still single while all my friends are either engaged or in long term relationships. So I might as well be able to support myself in a field that I enjoy while I keep looking. No guy wants a leech for a wife.

Excellent way of looking at things. Your husband and kids will have a smart and educated wife and mother who knows what she wants--them!

My husband requested that I stay at home with our son, something he wasn't able to enjoy with his own mother. I came from a home where mom stayed at home as well, so I was happy to comply as I can think of no other job I would want. He supports us and does not think of me as a leech, thank you very much.

I don't know about anyone else, but I certainly wouldn't consider a woman who was willing to stay home and raise our children a "leech". "Devoted and loving mother" is the first thing that springs to mind, actually, but that's just me. Though I do consider it wise having skills so you can find a job in case the marriage doesn't work out or your husband meets an untimely demise.

With a Master's in Engineering, you'll have the opportunity to be an excellent financial provider. Why not fall for a great guy who will be a stay-at-home dad who raises the kids while you work, advance your career, and pay the bills???
