[quote=Anonymous]My husband comes from a traditional culture where many women used to stay home. In his generation, women started having professional careers, but since they were the first group to go out en masse, they were also expected to do everything at home - which led to conflict. So he told me when he proposed that he would be happy with whatever decision I made. It turned out our first child was born with special needs, and I had to quit my job, which I wasn't happy about. And now it's going to be really hard to get back into the workplace after years of staying home. Also hard to transition back to a reasonably equal household chore distribution, because since he was the sole breadwinner, it seemed fair that I be the sole person to look after the children and house. No outsourcing. [/quote]
