Ever know a couple where the DH filed for divorce because the wife would not go back to work?

Yeah, some men do prefer the little woman to keep house for them. But many do not.

Lots of men want the woman to keep house, , prepare meals, stay sexy care for the kids AND go to work. I'll bet you're one of those. FUBAR.

Glad my husband respects me and doesn't see me as a glorified housekeeper

I third this. If I went back full time he would have to shorten his day to do dropoff or pickup, use his vacation days to care for sick kids, and not have dinner until 8 after we both get home and deal with hungry, needy kids and homework and chores. We did it for years and it was exhausting and I really didn't make enough to make it worth it. When dad makes $250k and has to take the day off so mom can go to work and make $60k, he is not appreciative of a working wife.

This mom makes 320k. My DH would be pissed if I decided to stay home and throw away this income. Over the long term having both parents work makes for a combined stronger income and better life.

He just wants your to earn your keep, he likes your pay check. He would dump you if he had to waste his money on you.

Better life? That's a matter of perspective.

I don't know how these people get to these salary levels, or maybe it is .1% of all Americans, but most houses need two incomes.

Wow. I think you're the loser, PP. Whose DH "doesn't care" if you work or not?

Why are you surprised that my DH wants me happy and isn't money hungry?

So why shouldn't DW want DH to be happy and go back to work and perhaps alleviate financial stress he feels as the sole provider, especially if that's the plan that was agreed upon?

Because this is DCUM where every DH is a +200K wage earner. In my neighborhood, we have women whose biggest decision every day is whether to get their nails done or have lunch with their girlfriends. They are working very hard to raise their kids, who are in school from 8-3:30.

I suppose it depends on how you define "better life."

What difference does his income make? Assuming he isn't an uber high, typical DCUM'er wouldn't you want a spouse who engages in the workplace and has experiences of her own?

I bet he doesn't make much. Maybe he needs to fix himself first.

My DH doesn't care if I work or not or have experiences of my own, LOL. He wants me happy. I can have experiences at work or AT HOME.
Threads like this make me so appreciative of DH.

Wow you are very defensive. You must know deep down you are a losers and can not hold a job in today's market place. Did you go to college? I hope not...it would be a shame to waste a slot on someone who stays at home.
