[quote=Anonymous]I know this has been discussed before. I'm expecting my first DC in less than a month (we're mid 30s; married 10 years), and daycare is going to cost more than my income. I work at a NGO and make 35k/year. DH is a big law associate (6L) and works long hours in litigation. I already have to do everything around the house although we do pay for cleaners to help once a month - and when I say everything I mean everything, such as I painted the house when we first bought it, fix broken things, take care of the yard/mow, grocery stop/pack lunches, etc. I got no issues doing it all because my DH is very appreciative and constantly shows it; [i]also there is no fixing this beyond only adding more help - lawn people, more frequently cleaning, handymen, etc[/i]. Maybe it's my tired, pregnant brain, but I'm considering staying home once we add a kid to the mix. So my question is, how are people's relationships affected if one is a stay at home? [/quote]
