[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If my DH’s parents really needed money - even if it was due to their bad choices - I would never leave them high and dry.  I would also step up to help care for them if need be.  I’ve always been of the belief that families should take care of their elderly relatives and I consider my in-laws part of my family.  I admire cultures that have that ethos.  [/quote]

+1.

My parents aren’t retired yet, but DH spends money and limited vacation time flying out to visit them 2-3 times a year.

So if you were a SAHM and your parents needed money you would get a job to support them?[/quote]

Probably not.  I work part time and DH balks when I pick up additional work, even if I still take care of all the kid stuff.  The house is messy, dinner isn’t made, I’m tired, everything is a little stressful.  
He would not be cool with my picking up more work and then keeping all of the money for myself.  [/quote]

No matter what DCUM says, most high earning men are not wishing their SAHM wives would return to work.  [/quote]

You are completely wrong on your assumption. If you follow courtroom, statistics, you will see most men would stay at home. Wives never agreed to that situation, and we’re blindsided when they had children.

What statistics are these?  
You are telling me that most high earning men (doctors, lawyers, CEO’s) would prefer to give up their careers to drive carpool, do laundry, and support their wives careers?

I don’t believe you.  I have literally never seen this play out.
