Why I Say: Don't Be a Stay-at-Home Mom (And What the Trolls Had to Say About It)

Send a textIn this episode, we're diving into the LawyerJulie TikTok post that stirred up quite the conversation: my take on why women should never be full-time stay-at-home moms—at least not without a backup plan.  Watch the video here: https://www.tiktok.com/@lawyerjulie/video/7466149689814011178We break down the financial and personal risks of stepping out of the workforce, the long-term implications of giving up a career, and why independence is key (even if you never need it).We also tackle some of the top comments and criticisms, including the "Who hurt you?" response. Spoiler: No one, but life experience and years in family law have shown Julie how quickly things can change. Plus, we discuss social security benefits, postnups, and how couples can proactively protect a stay-at-home spouse’s future.Oh, and trolls? We see you. And we’re not losing sleep.Want to ask a free legal question for a future episode on our new podcast project?
