[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the most enraging post ever on DCUM. I’m kind of surprised you didn’t walk out on him tbh. We have several young children about two years ago[b] I decided I would never go back to full time work while there are children in the home.[/b] It is patently obvious that women, careered and not, do the vast majority of childcare and home-related tasks. It is a recipe for resentment to require a wife to bear the burden of income generation and also do most of the childcare. When we divided up the labor into two - my DH makes a great salary, pays all the bills, I work a small part time job and take care of the kids - my respect for him improved dramatically and our marriage got better. [b]People are outraged and will call women gold diggers who expect their DH to pay the bills when they have children, but I’m a believer now that I’ve seen the incredible benefit to the marriage relationship when a man focuses on making money and his wife takes care of the children[/b].[/quote]
So you decided for your entire family to halve your HHI? Until your youngest child is 17? But you are upset that other people may call women gold diggers because theyre sitting on their a$$ while their final kid is in HS? GMAFB. You are a gold digger - is that not the literal definition?[/quote]
My DH decided to halve his contribution relative to mine in childcare and home tasks. It’s a simple matter of math. There are only 24 hours in a day. Why would I choose to work more than he, earn more than he and then do all the childcare in addition? I swear people think women are idiots.[/quote]
