[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don't feel comfortable knowing that my life is made entirely possible by someone else's largesse.  I've always felt this way, even as a child when I realized some moms don't work outside the home.  It's an uncomfortable feeling.  [/quote]

I've been married 30 years and have been at home all but about six of them.  DH and I are both 50. I feel 100% comfortable knowing my life is made entirely possible by my DH's income.  He would tell you that his life is made 100% possible by me managing our home.  So it works out well in our family.

But if it gives you an uncomfortable feeling, you should definitely continue working.[/quote]

Fantastic answer and 100% true.  I worked for 11 years and have been fortunate enough to be home for 12.  I just laugh at the simpletons who can't grasp that marriage is a team effort, not an exercise in bean counting.  My husband is my biggest champion, and I am his - no matter which way our "division of duties" is divvied up.  [/quote]

MY marriage is not a team effort, it's an exercise in bean counting, which is why we both work full time. Not ideal, but yeah, it is, so neither of us would ever let the other SAH. In fact, we both make roughly the same amount (in 2016, I made 55% of the HHI).[/quote]
DP... I'm sorry, but this doesn't sound like  great marriage. I've been both a wohm, sahm, wfh, PT, etc... Marriage is a partnership.[/quote]
