Absolutely agree

My wife made a similar decision after our son was born. Sure we could have had a lot more disposable income and investments if she had kept working, but she wanted to be home with our son and we both thought that was more important. I understand that a lot of working couples don’t really have that option for financial reasons or if staying in the workplace is what both spouses want then that is absolutely their choice. However, anyone who thinks a stay at home mom or dad isn’t working or contributing to society doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
