I was. My wife and I married in 1985. She was an accountant but quit when she had child #1 of 4. When the youngest was about 5 she started back part time, and that really helped, but it represented a small percentage of our income. Eventually I had some good breaks and earned so much that she retired.
She and I agreed to sacrifice whatever we had to in order to have the children raised by mom. We went ten years without a real vacation, rarely eating at restaurants, and not being able to afford to go to the movies. I'm glad we did, but it's not for everyone.
