[quote=Anonymous]We make it work (for 16 years and counting). Like PP, it wasn't a planned arrangement. I'm an attorney making $1.3m; he trained as a physician and quit during his residency. The fact is I make more now than he would have. Certainly, our combined income would have been nice but we wouldn't have had nearly as much time as a family. I've gotten used to some odd looks when people realize I am the breadwinner. I think it is important for the mom to let the SAHD do things the way he prefers to do them rather than micromanaging. The house is messier than I would keep it, he cooks different meals than I would, and has a different laundry system, but the kids are happy, healthy, and pretty self sufficient. The hardest part for us is feeling like we don't fit in.[/quote]
