[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand how women find themselves in this situation. Why did you quit your job op? Most women work with kids. Obviously your DH didn’t think it was critical for you to stay home, so I’m guessing the stay home idea was pushed by you. I don’t understand how women can beg and plead to their dhs to stay home, and then be surprised that their dh doesn’t respect them or consider them an equal contributor. [/quote] NP, this isn't about staying at home. I stayed at home for 3 years. At the time, my husband made about 150k and kvetched about every penny. For the last decade, I have worked and I make 200k (spouse makes 250) while doing 80% of the kid/home stuff. We have 400k in each kid 529 and our house is paid off. How much I work or how much I make isn't relevant to his behavior or attitude- he is still kvetching about every penny I spend on the kids. People are either generous and uncontrolling or they aren't. [/quote]
