[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My working partner LOVES that I stay home and manage everything. He can just focus on his work and clients. Nothing with the kids, house, yard, vacation, planning, schools, doctor visits, snow days, gift-purchasing, food, errands, etc. ever affects him.

In fact, when asked what the secret to his success is, he says me![/quote]

I admire all you do since you have children and my weekends are much more tiring than my work days, but it’s sad that it’s HIS success. I think unfair... I guess your success is raising your kids which is huge. I guess you are both the secret to each other success. He can do what he does because of you and you can do what you do because he makes enough money. Win win[/quote]

When we are all dead, in less you have some amazing job, seriously, when you retire/quit, you are replaceable and no one cares but you.  What you do have is the kids you have raised and what you put into them and that is your biggest legacy.  If you have two parents working 60+ hours a week, how much time do you spend with them?[/quote]

This is a different kind of discussion from OP’s post. I see your perspective. I don’t disagree with you, but us working moms still raise our children. We do outsource help during the day, but the nights (my kids go to bed at 9 so we have over two hours everyday), mornings, weekend and vacations we are together. Once the kids are in school (one of mine already is) I am really only spending 2 hours every day less than you. Not a big difference...[/quote]
