I don't at all see the problem with staying home to care for a family if that is truly what you want. I believe that going after what you want to do with your life is the most important thing, even if it's not what some others may want.

For me personally, I know I've cut down the work in the last year... it's one of the reasons I took the job that moved me to Atlanta. No more overtime, ever, no more weekends, ever... and I plan to always work that way from now on. It's time for life and time for me to enjoy all the benefits of working my ass off since college.
i can't imagine just wanting to give up the education you worked on just to have babies and sit on your ass... its crazy b/c we know a few girls who have finished their Phd and who are currently finishing it who will never use it b/c they just want to be stay at home MOMMY... that shit just baffles me.

but your totally right enjoy the rewards your hardwork in college + work has now provided you. i know my wife and i are holding off kids for that reason... neither of use want to deal w/ rug rats w/o enjoying time together first.
