"Often, it's a matter of money and career goals having more value and importance than they should. Sometimes, people get so accustomed to a certain standard of living that they are unwilling to simplify their lives, live on less, in order to be their child's parent."

---> I agree. I know that if we hadn't move to that "better" house in that "better" neighborhood that the ex thought we HAD to have to "better" reflect his new position...that our marriage would have survived. Instead, everything went to hell because the "extra" money we had before...that paid for "luxaries", that enable us to hire a sitter for US...was spent just to survive to the next paycheck.

---> JUST because you earn XX amount of money, doesn't mean that you HAVE to spend it all. You kid isn't going to die if they don't have the latest fashions or cell phone or MP3 player; they don't need to have a PS3 or XBox 360 or a television and DVD player or Internet access in their room. How many hours a day do you spend with your child...during the week...during the weekends? How many "activities" are your kids involved in? When was the last time ya'll had "fun" with your kids? How much more time could you spend with your kids if you weren't trying to "make up" for what YOU didn't have?

"Adding to the quandary for women is their desire to achieve career status and equality in a work world dominated by men. Ambition, in itself, is an unremarkable facet of being human. But add a child to the equation, and work and motherhood quickly become incompatible."

---> It's not a specific gender issue...how many fathers would be willing to give up their "careers" and be a SAHP if NOT for "society"? The MAN is SUPPOSED to be the "breadwinner"...he's SUPPOSED to support HIS family, he's SUPPOSED to have "drive" and "ambition", a REAL man would NOT let a women support him and so on and so forth.
