[quote=6packscaredy]Is it really giving up anything? Perhaps child raising is a benefit, a gain?[/quote]
You’re not giving up anything if everything goes as planned (lifelong marriage). IMHO, it’s a total benefit to the entire family to have a SAHP who is committed to the family (for families who choose this option…everyone has different priorities and opinions).
If you end up getting divorced, OTOH, you are most certainly sacrificing a lot if you’re a SAHP.
