[quote=Anonymous]I work in a really, really low-paying field and earn about 1/3 of what DH earns. Yes, this is with me working full-time and being a grown up adult with a college degree. Yes, I know I chose my career poorly.

Anyway, DH would have every right to not take my job seriously, given the circumstances. And in some ways our family reflects this. We live where his employment opportunities are best, for instance. If both of us have a very big day ahead at work and one of the kids is sick, kid duty falls to me by default - since at the end of the day, his job is the one that supports us.

However, despite all of this, DH certainly displays an interest in what I do, talks to me about my day, and doesn't just assume all the domestic stuff is on me. If he's got a light day and I'm in meetings all day, he's going to stay home with the sick kid even though he's the big earner. He has respect for me, he knows my job is hard if not well-compensated.

I don't think either partner really has an excuse for thinking it's all about them.[/quote]
