Anyone know a good divorce lawyer?

DWCAP, yeah, I’m real bitter. I agree with you concerning your last paragraph. On the other hand, I suspect there is good number of men who could take or leave being a parent, but go ahead and procreate in order to get/keep the woman.

I know most of you all will throw arrows at me for this, but I cannot imagine why a man would marry a woman who didn’t want to work outside the home. That was a must-have on my list.

I see so many problems in relationships with stay-at-home moms. I can tell you by the # of times the phone rings on an employee’s desk (with a call from wifey) whether or not his wife works. If she doesn’t work, she’s bored and hits that phone for every little thing. Besides solving boredom, a working wife provides many other bennies: less time to spend dough, she’s tired in the eve too so less “let’s go out!” on weeknights, doubles the household income & retirement bennies, and maybe the most important: she stays mentally stimulated and engaged with the world.

Luckily I found a gorgeous woman early on who was brilliant and driven, so the decision to marry was so easy that it made me second guess myself. But it’s turned out beautifully.

This has been a long-winded way of saying: alimony is not an issue if your wife makes as much (or more!) than you do. While this was not my intent in my wifey-must-work mentality, it would have been a very welcome plus if things had not worked out.

(child support is a whole nuther issue. I cannot for the life of me imagine why someone would NOT want to have their offspring live with adequate $$ – paying child support is a no brainer. My respect for those who refuse to pay it – or complain about it – is nil. You got your rocks off dude. Pay up.)

I have to say that I completely agree with you, svelte. I was given the choice when I had my daughter a year and a half ago, but I just couldn’t stay home. My husband was my sole source of entertainment and I could feel my brain cells withering away at home… Going back to work was the most rewarding thing I’ve done. Plus, I know my daughter will receive 8 hours of mental stimulation whereas if I were home, I would be cleaning and running errands and she would be left to play by herself.

Not going to throw arrows. Although I don’t have kids of my own, I can’t imagine being a domestic engineer and not having at least a part-time job doing something else to occupy myself, my brain, etc. I would not want to be solely dependent financially on someone. I have to say that being a domestic engineer and raising children is a full time job. Some men know this and wouldn’t do it.

I can understand when the child is still a baby, infant, mothers would want to stay home to care and nurture. But once the kids in preschool and socializing w/other kids and in schools learning, I’d want to get back to doing some kind of work. Household chores are not the most rewarding.

If a woman chooses to work full time, there’s dual income, then I hope a cleaning lady is in the mix at least once a week, or the guy is doing chores as well. Either that or the house you work so hard to get goes to pot. More work maintaining the house than women get credit for.

MPO, women are not “Wonder Woman” or Superwomen and to have a full time job and do all the household chores AND taking care of kids, etc. all by herself is a recipe for disaster. If you keep driving a car and don’t change the oil, rotate tires, etc, the car is not going to function properly.

If there’s substantial money and the wife doesn’t need to work and she has a maid and is bored, then I say time to do some volunteer work, get involved w/the community, go to the gym and stay in shape, take up tennis or biking or something that makes you feel a sense of self-worth if not a job.

I never understand when women are bored. Get a life. Get a hobby, something.
