Irrelevant. I am not a parent and plan to never be one. I chose a different path, and am looking for someone who chose the same (childless) path. That said, the happiest and brightest and most successful children I know are from households in which both parents work, and always have. In my opinion, the superiority of the stay-at-home parent is just that, a myth. ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Dying to be thin? Anorexia.
