Hi Barbara!
I did read your post about this and I wanted to mention that I did work the last two years while my husband was in medical school to supplement the school loans my husband was getting. My husband and I decided jointly that I would stay-at-home with our second born child. I wanted to do this and he liked the idea of me staying with our son also. I am completely fulfilled by this role. I wouldn't have it any other way, unless we needed more financial stability. I support spouses either way whether they decide to stay at home or go & work outside of the home. It's just depends on situations and/or preferences. When my husband finished his 2nd year of medical school, he went to another part of the state to finish his medical school training, yet this was still a part of the University medical school curriculum. So, when we moved, I looked for a teaching position and was fortunate to get one 20 minutes from our home. Our first son was starting kindergarten and so, we were able to get him into the school at which I was teaching. I was thankful to have had that opportunity. A job just for me was nice!
Well, those are just my experiences! Does that help at all? LOL
