<p>Keep the wife at home. I don't want a nanny raising my kids.</p>
<p>Her choice. If she was working, then she would bring in more money (which by the way we don't really need) but if she enjoys her career I can't deny her that choice. If she was a stay-at-home mother, then she'd spend time with the kids and whatever and eliminate any need for a babysitter or a nanny.</p>
<p>Whatever she wants (as long as she doesn't divorce me and take half my money). But working if and ONLY IF she enjoys it.......</p>
<p>Anyway I want to be an investment banker and then go into private equity/venture capital. I'm giong to be a horrible father anyway.</p>
<p>im with hobo. thats been my dream for years. id like to keep learning here and there but I really don't want to get up early and do monotonous work all day. I really cant think of any job that avoids it and doesnt pay minimum wage (although there's a current trend for that to be rising sooo who knows). Video game tester would be sweeeet. But ya, rich chicas? PM me for my number. I'll be good to you =D</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I don't really like when my parents go to my meets.</p>
<p>My mom works from home. I'd think I'd like that.</p>
<p>If you are a stay at home mom what are you going to do when your husband leaves you and you get no or very little alimony (sp?)</p>
<p>That's why it's so important to get a good college degree that will serve you well if you are forced back into working outside the home. It's also important to try to stay "current" with your degree by doing related volunteer work, keeping accreditations up to date, continuing any education that will help you stay abreast of changes in your field, etc. I tutored other families' homeschooled kids in my subject area (foreign language) while my own kids were in public school during the day. It brought in that little extra income to help fund my kids' piano and dance lessons and kept me current with my field.</p>
<p>yeah i think i'll eventually be married but im very cautious about marriage. dont assume you wont be divorced, most will. and so yeah you might want to have some money of your own.</p>
<p>That's why there should be 3 bank account in every marriage. One for each member of the marriage contract and a joint account.</p>
<p>And it's not exactly that most will get divorced. More like half.</p>
<p>And that is an inflated statistic, because for ever divorce, there is 2 more people to add. Its like UChicago saying that 1/2 the people at UChicago undergrad get married to a UChicago undergrad.</p>
<p>Ew...that sounds somewhat unhealthy to me. Sure both parties should have a set amount to spend on whatever they want, but I'd feel a bit weird having completely separate bank accounts.</p>
<p>Maybe it works for some, though.</p>
<p>I would work. Actually we are thinking that my husband will be a stay at home dad. :)</p>
<p>This is kinda biased and one-sided considering this is a college website and most people are going to get degrees and therefore want to earn back that hard-earned money spent on those degrees by working, but...</p>
<p>I'm going to work sometime during my future children's lives. Sorry. I like the ideas of staying home while they're not in school or working from home. But I wouldn't end a great career over my kids. Not that they're not important, but honestly, they'll be fine in the end. Most of us have working parents and aren't complaining to therapists (yet, lol)</p>
<p>Not only would I work, I would not have any children.</p>
<p>^ My plans as well.</p>
<p>I'd work as a volunteer, work in politics or the news.</p>
<p>And seperate bank accounts, of course! My parents had a joint account before and that was f'cked up. They don't anymore and it's better.</p>
<p>I think there should be like a personal account for each person and an account with a certain monthly budget set up just for groceries and childrens' supplies and whatever.</p>
<p>I don't plan on even getting married, its just a big burden ( tough that's only my opinion by using my family as an example)</p>
<p>My mom stayed at home, and it was awesome.</p>
<p>I wouldn't want my wife to work.</p>
<p>Why don't you not work then?</p>
<p>Why wouldn't you want your wife to not work?</p>
<p>If I had to be a "domestic engineer," I think I'd be clinically depressed.</p>
