Is it a waste of brains to be a stay-at-home Wife and Mother?
I have a friend who is getting married. She is very intelligent and has been taking post-secondary education for the past two years in pursuit of a professional occupation. In the middle of this time she met the love of her life. Recently she has decided not to continue her education. Some people are supportive and some are very disappointed.
Reasons not to continue:
*By the time she is finished her education she wants to be having children.
*She wants to be a stay-at-home mother and wife so she can raise her own children and care for her husband.
*The profession she was pursuing requires a certain number of hours to keep your license so she couldn't just go back to it eventually.
*There is a possibility with the jobs her and her husband are pursuing that they could 'tag team', having one at home while the other is working and visa versa, but that is not the marital relationship (or lack of) that they want.
So, the question again. Is is a waste of brains for her to 'quit' school with the expectation of eventually being a stay-at-home Wife and Mother?
