[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If one job generates a lot of money, involves travel and long hours, it becomes really tough for the other spouse to work unless it’s a part time or flexible job. You can always outsource childcare, household and social obligations but unless job is really fulfilling and high income, it makes little sense.[/quote] I'm a PP, and my DHs job involves tons of travel and long hours. I work because I like it. We do have help, and DH also has to do a lot more than others on this thread seem to expect of their spouses. The answer to OPs question is that if both parents work for pay, both parents need to be reliably involved in the household and family. The balance can vary (I do way more than my DH), but it can't 100% fall on one parent. That doesn't work. And unless your spouse is POTUS or deployed, then they can probably take on full responsibility for at least a couple things.[/quote]
