N = 4, my man. And from a different era. ~15% of marriages end in divorce. There are layoffs, burnouts, illnesses and deaths. What plans would you advise your daughters to make?

I was actually thinking about this yesterday the advice i am likely to give my daughters is become someone that you love, pursue a career if you like, and don't discount the delights of marrying well and having a family

i expect my children to be smart and lazy like their parents so probably this will be well-received and i hope to help them develop a charming disposition and great discernment which should help on the marriage market

For once in my life, I'm not starting shit, but I've noticed an odd confidence among the marriage and SAHM boosters that divorce is something that happens to Other People. And that having a plan for the marriage going south is...gauche?

i dont think theres anything incorrect about your description of the risks of being a SAHM. what im objecting to is the valorization of a career per se rather than a career pursued pragmatically

Sure. There's a constant - and natural - tug between private and public life. And the current way of squaring the circle is to just tell people to pick a side. No way to run a society.

to give you an idea: in my erstwhile marriage my wife decided it reflected poorly on her that she was working and I was in business school, because she was "supporting" me (never mind I was paying our expenses from savings, not important, it's the appearances)
