[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had a friend in your situation. Before you break up your family you owe it to your kids to try getting a job. It may change the power/chores dynamic, and it may also provide you with more $ to outsource. Also, if you divorce you will have to work full time anyway, so try it now.

I SAH for a couple years and basically liked it but my marriage improved when I went back to work. I no longer cared about household stuff the same way, because it was as not as big a part of my life, if that makes sense. [/quote]

Thanks for this. I have a masters and could work. I would only make about a quarter of what my DH makes though.

In response to people telling me the housework is all my job, I totally agree that it’s my job to
Do most of it. I’m the sahm. However, I simply can’t do it all or even a good portion of it with the ages of my kids unless I work for hours each night past bedtime. This isn’t the 1950s. I think he should help a little other than bring in a paycheck. [/quote]
