Huh, I just assumed this was already your plan! Typical mind fallacy, I suppose. Does strike me as odd it hasn’t occurred to you as a possibility.

Me too in retrospect I think my unexamined belief was that no woman would actually want this, and that it would be Bad for me to want it

This is so unfortunate

I dated a guy who thought it unfair on its face for his potential future wife not to work at all, but had nothing further to say about that and it was kind of an emperor has no clothes moment for me

Yeah I mean that framing seems pretty incorrect lol. But I had a hard time imagining that someone would want a career more than to be the one at home with the kids. I sort of still do tbh?

Umm isn’t this a function of husband being able to make enough? Tradwifery is an upper-middle-class luxury lifestyle choice today. Most of America is caught in the two-income trap that Warren got famous researching. Median guys don’t expect to make enough to support this.

I wonder what fraction of parents would produce better educational outcomes from homeschooling than they would get in the schools they would use in its absence And I'm thinking about some curious novel equilibria if home schooling becomes more prevalent

I doubt K-12 is going anywhere anytime soon due to aligned & intrenched interests, but a legacy institution like that is more or less irrelevant to me until something unexpected happens like one of my kids really wants to be there despite (to spite?!) us
