Would your husband quit his job if you earned more? Would you if he did?

In a 2005 Career Builder survey of full-time working dads with children under 18, almost 50% answered yes.

This year, only 31% did.

Are dads less enthusiastic about staying home, because more men have tried it now, and know the drudgery involved? Or does today’s lower percentage reflect widespread financial insecurity? Perhaps both.

I took on a few jobs that weren’t terribly taxing — publicity, newsletter editor, field trip coordinator, art room helper; it was all the energy I had with an active 5-year-old and an infant at home. But I was in awe of the powerhouse women who volunteered for the big jobs, ones that required accounting and weekly meetings and intensive planning and fundraising. They were women who had no doubt been six-figure CEOs, stockbrokers and lawyers in their former lives, and who were now using all their business savvy to help their kids’ school — for free.

Earlier this month I attended my grandmothers funeral and was blessed to see many family and friends that I rarely see. Catching up with and introducing myself to those who haven't heard from me from years inevitably ended up something like this.. "So what do you do?" "I'm…

DO YOU NEED CHANGE IN 2009??

Since I became a part of Freedom United, our lives have changed so much. It has been the smartest choice I ever made and the biggest blessing to us. With a 3 year old boy and a 10 month old girl, it was nearly impossible for me to think about working outside of the home. Between the cost of…
