[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]These replies are wild. I say go back to work and pay for your parents, OP.  I imagine you’ll have to pay someone from his salary to cover what you currently do as a SAHM.  Once he realizes how much not having a SAHM taking care of everything is cutting into his lifestyle, he may be more willing to pay. [/quote]

I find it so cute and naive when housewives threaten to go back to work as a form of punishment to man they have been dependent on.

It is so adorable.   [/quote]

I love it when men say this.  If you died, your SAHW would get your life insurance and hardly miss a beat.  Your family would probably be happier without having to compromise to your wants.  
 If she died, your kids would be miserable, and [b]your life would probably completely change.[/b]

I always wonder what it’s like to feel completely expendable to your family.

Not PP but it doesn't need to change. He could pay anyone to clean his house and take care of kids. He has lots of money. Unless you think his SAH wife is irreplaceable? LOL[/quote]

Come on. A nanny isn’t going to do what a mom does, unless she is a house manager as well and lives there full time. [/quote]

You don’t even understand how many things stay at home moms do the kids do not give a F about. Nobody cares who cook the food or clean the house or bought doilies to make additional pretty. They really just want time to talk to somebody, connect, do things with most men do the things the children care about. Women do all the other things.[/quote]

Either you didn’t have a dad with a high income and a SAHM, or your experience was very unusual.  
I don’t know anyone in that situation with that kind of tight knit relationship with their dad.  
I remember watching “ER” during a sleepover in high school and one of the plot lines was a child complaining to her father that he isn’t home enough, and we were all laughing at how ridiculous this girl is.  “Your dad isn’t home, boo hoo, get over it.  That’s life.”  
No one was having regular deep conversations and connecting with their dad.  Most of us couldn’t have told you for certain if our dad was home or traveling that week.
