Maybell,
Sorry I expressed myself incorrectly. The at home spouse is very much a job of great difficulty and not for the faint of heart. I agree completely. I think I was more indicating the the work part not the emotional part the trust part and the sacrifice part, was not any more demanding then other jobs. In fact the actual work becomes easier as the children age. The sacrifice emotionally and in other areas is huge. It's why I never considered my income as mine. I always viewed it as ours. Does that make more sense?
