I'm a stay at home Mom. It makes sense as all our family lives in NE and my husband's job requires some travel (and dongles) so it works out best for us.
Last night, she and I were having a conversation about what she wants to be when she grows up. She said "a Mom like you" (sweet--I'm far from perfect).
So I threw out suggestions like teacher, scientist, environmental stuff as she loves reading non-fiction books about space and wildlife.
She replies, "well, I thought about becoming a scientist, but if the Dad works I'm staying home."
I laughed my ass off.
She just turned 7, so she's got time to rethink things. I also reminded her that she would actually be "working" doing laundry, cooking, vacuuming...I must add as hard as my guy works he does really help around the house and loves to cook.
