If you didn’t marry a rich man is your life difficult?

[Anonymous]

I make 3x what my husband does. I also do most of the childcare and household duties. It’s very stressful. Luckily my mom lives nearby and can help out occasionally. When I start to get resentful about carrying all the responsibility, I remember that I am a bit of a control freak and I prefer to have the final say-so on the finances and the parenting. The income and lopsided division of labor gives me the leverage often get my way when we might not agree on the course of action.

The new modern american woman came from humble beginnings or poverty so she knows she has to marry rich or study to be rich.

Lol you think women wanting to marry rich is a new modern thing?

No, it’s not. But we have similar values, manage our money well and have enough to cover all the essential things plus some non-essentials like travel, recreation, etc.

Life is fine. We are both Feds because we share the same values. I would prefer that neither of us leave public service and work for a law firm, as that would take away from family time and make our lives less meaningful. I (the wife) could just as easily make more money as my husband could.

THis makes no sense. All you saying all "modern women" came from poverty?
