<p>MomOFour, have to agree with you. It’s been like that in every place we’ve lived. Our circle of friends all fit that bill; well-educated moms who have been fortunate enough to make the choice to stay home and raise their children themselves.</p>
<p>I certainly consider myself fortunate to be in that group. Not that it’s always been easy, but I’ve never once regretted my decision to stay at home with my kids. Now that they’re older, I’ve been able to do a little work from home, which I’m also fortunate to be able to do.</p>
<p>I think the point is that every family is different and that it’s unwise (and silly) to make generalizations about any ‘type’ of family.</p>
