[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All I can say is wow.

When the tables turn it’s all about the money. Well, you gotta give the women credit - they are very clear in the terms of the transaction.

My only regret as a high earning DH is I should have been as clear with my expectations and demands.[/quote]

I don’t think that’s what we (most of us) are saying. I posted that if you’re not the breadwinner you’d darn well better be an equal partner at home (and if the pay differential is that large, be willing to be the point person with house and kids- stepping back from your work if needed). Nothing more than men expect of women, frankly (if the scenario were reversed). Women just don’t want to be the breadwinner AND do everything at home. Rightly so. [/quote]

I disagree. Most self-respecting working women don't want a spouse of any income level who dumps every big or small thing on her to handle. You can't pay a nanny or housekeeper to decide what school to send your kid, what travel team to apply for, what camps or vacations to do, what learning disability your kid has, what's breaking in the house and how to fix it, etc. [/quote]
