[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. I am not "lucky" because my husband does a fair amount of child rearing, as he is not "lucky" I earn 1/2 our income. It's what we have mutually decided works for us. Each time we see my MIL she comments on how great of a father he is. I agree, but because it is out of her range of typical" I am supposed to be falling over. If anything, I am grateful he is the man he claimed to be when we decided to become parents together.[/quote] OP, I'm with you. If my MIL said that, I would say, "well, if he didn't help, I wouldn't be with him. We both work. We're a team, 50/50." I know a lot of people say just to smile and put up with it, but I think this is something that needs to be addressed in our society, because even with as far as women have come, there still seems to be this attitude that, even if the wife has a full-time career, she is the default child-rearer/housekeeper/et cetera. That needs to be constantly challenged. [/quote]
