Is it worth pursuing medical school when the other half of my dream is being able to stay home and raise my kids?

She’s always worked hasn’t she? Why are you bringing her up?

Yes I know, that’s why I’m confused why you brought her up in a post about wanting to be a stay at home wife??

Your post said is it worth pursuing a medical school ... Ursula was able to be a mother of 7, get a medical degree, marry a man with a medical degree, and many other things all at the same time. I don't mean you should become the runner up to Ursula von der leyen, but she is inspirational to me as a man

Omg I’m not the writer of that post! I didn’t think you or anyone would think I was, so I didn’t even think to clarify that 😂 but anyway, I think you missed the point of the other person’s post. They’re saying that they also desire to be a stay at home mom so would it be worth going through med school when she would apparently not end up using it if she would then go on to be a stay at home. She doesn’t want to be a working mom like ursula that’s why it was confusing that were mentioning her.
