[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I retired this year because my husband had stay-at-home wife privilege and my full-time salary. I will do the SAH stuff and we'll keep the once a week housekeeper. We'll see how it goes. We can financially handle it; just not sure if I"ll like it. I'm 6 years older but worked about 10 years longer in my career than he has. Also, my career paid more over the years so I also saved about 2/3 of the family fortune. I've earned it. Maybe he has too. That said, not only should he pick up kid, he should master the art of making your take-to-work lunches.

Imagine a nice bento with warm soup in the bottom, some pot stickers in the middle, and a fresh salad on top, above the hot top? Sounds good doesn't?

OP here. That's funny. That was his exact phrase - he's earned this. Only thing is, if we maintain the status quo, I feel like's he's earned it at the cost of my labor -

He currently makes the kid's lunch. He's a really good lunch maker. However, one of my job benefits is free on-site meal, so I've never asked :)[/quote]
