I applaud and support those couples who choose to give up one income in order for one parent to stay home during the (most) formative years of their children's lives. Which parent doesn't matter. My wife, as a management-level professional (PhD/MSW)stayed home for the first seven years of our children's lives. I will always be grateful that she did. I don't see any difference between that and Squeak's situation. As I always say; different strokes..............
