Yeah, it doesn't make sense to me but that doesn't matter... it's not my life. If they really want to be stay at home moms, then that is completely fine with me.

However, I do hope that when I decide to have kids, I won't have to work a full 40 hours a week at least while they are very small. I was in daycare for a while as a child and I don't think it's the best way to raise a child IF you have a choice. But I'll see, life is all about doing what works and makes you happy in your situation... it's something that can rarely be planned.

I do totally agree on spending time with your spouse before kids though. You can't put them back once you've had them... so enjoy each other for a while first.
