Of course a SAHM did not contribute to the success of OP and should not get 1/2, that’s insane.

It is true that raising kids does not entitle someone to 5 million dollars but you don’t think SAHMs who take care of their husbands’ children contribute to their success? At all? Do you think that if an especially lazy SAHM did nothing and the working spouse still had to do all the diapers, cooking, housekeeping, getting kids off to school, etc, in addition to working, his career wouldn’t be impacted at all?

Not that it matters because a marriage is a contract like any other and has financial implications, but its so weird to me that someone can say with their whole chest that a the work of a SAHM contributes nothing to the career of h[/quote]

Yes I think his career would not be impacted.

SAHMs act like their agreement is a sacrifice when it was a gift.

Bfd, the SAHM coordinated the cleaners and tutors.[/quote]

I suspect that by the time my oldest is 17, DH and I will have a joint net worth of 10M. When we were looking at our options when thinking about kids, we looked at two options: we both get low-key, lower-paying jobs, or I become a SAHM. Had we not gone the SAHM route our assets would be significantly lower. This is a pretty common turn of events. It doesn’t mean that men whose wives SAHM are incapable of earning what they do if they had to take care of all the things a SAHM takes care of (although for some that definitely is true). It does mean that in cases like ours, the couple’s net worth is as high as it is only because one party stayed at home, since that is the choice they made.

also it sounds like you are getting your information about SAHMs married to successful men from TV. Or maybe you just know a lot of losers. DH is a big law partner and the spouses of his colleagues who SAH are all extremely hardworking. [/quote]

Cool story bro.

No I know lots of very successful people and the fact you think every SAHM has the same value is insane.

Also you were given a gift of not working. It’s not a sacrifice. Working hard is a sacrifice.

I’m sad your H missed precious hours with his children so you could have your way. I think those lost hours are worth money and you should pay him for time lost, health impact of long hours and you generally using him for money.

See there are many sides to a coin.[/quote]

Are you having fun over there spinning yourself into knots to avoid the prospect that you might be wrong? [/quote]

The reality is as more loser husbands start getting denied 50-50, so the same will happen with women who don’t contribute equally.[/quote]
