pretty much proverbs 31 explained…
I’ll never forget the moment my mother, exhausted from working long hours at a hospital with toxic management, looked at me and said her biggest regret was stopping being a stay at home mom to pursue her career. She missed those early days, which ended when I was 8 years old and I became a latch-key kid. She was happiest when she was improving our lives and wished she’d ignored the feminist message. My heart now breaks every time I hear a new mother lamenting her maternity leave ending and her having to hand her baby over to someone else to raise in her absence. It’s step 1 of the invading neo-Marxist political machine to ensure a broken family structure.
It’s also AI generated. Regardless, the message is spot,on!
I was a latch key kid at 8 but it was babysitters before that. My wife and I gave up some luxuries but I made sure my wife stayed home. She made up for it by making all our kids clothes. She also knitted sweaters, sox , ponchos and blankets. I picked up used Kenmore appliances cheap and rebuilt them. Sears had parts. We did not eat the best cuts of meat but food was plentiful in our home. We bought less house than we qualified for and only had 1 car. I don’t know if it could be done today but our son worked 2 jobs to keep his wife home.
We did something similar. My wife worked until our children were born but we had based our spending off my income so we could make the transition to the single income without too much chaos. My son was born healthy but became autistic at 18 months so had we not switched to single income in the beginning, we’d been in bad shape because there’s no way we could afford to pay someone to safely handle his needs back then. My daughter is a nurse but is now staying home to raise her kids. She remembered appreciating my wife staying home.
My wife and I decided that the QUALITY of our lives was more important than the QUANTITY in our lives. Not a lot of extra money laying around, but we’ve never regretted it.
My wife and I are stinking rich and were always able to afford the best wet nurses and nannies for our son and heir. Some people say that the Maserati was a bad choice for his private high school graduation. They’re right…a Lamborghini would have been much better.
Joking of course. Everyone knows a BMW is the smarter choice. 
Two newlyweds go on their honeymoon and go to check in at their hotel. The new husband proudly proclaims to the clerk that they are on their honeymoon and would like a room. The clerk replies “would you like the bridal sir” the new husband unabashed replies “no I’ll hold her ears till she gets the hang of it” …
