That is raising our children. I don't see it as she gave up anything. She is gaining a family and the role of mother. These are likely to be much more satisfying to her than her career. |
Well, dunno maybe it's because I'ma dude. But a career to me is something uniquely mine not, my spouses or my childrens.An identity so to speak outside of being a father or a husband. Something that you work hard and sacrifice for, if *I* had to give that up to be a stay at home dad...yes to me I'd feel like all I did to educate myself, get that promotion at work and sucess in my career would be all for not.
I'm saying this as me, my opinion as Matthew having to be as stay at home father, not equating it to mothers who leave their jobs to stay at home.
