When do you think is the right time to be a SAHM ?

If given a choice, it should be avoided in Singapore because is too financially stressful. If there is one less income, it meant that the father have to work harder and less time for the children. (Paternal bond won't be strong) The housewife gets disconnected with work life and have different expectation from the husband. Coupled with social media and some unrealistic expectation of working husband, it will be a melting pot. If both are working and share the housework equally then they can be more understanding to each other plight and seek a common understanding. It is in the welfare of the children to see both parents as equal, they are too young to understand why father have to go to work and etc.
