[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes. All the listed work are easy-peasy jobs for me. I prefer doing or outsourcing these to going to work for a paycheck. My DH thinks I am a superwoman just because I deal with everything that does not pertain to his career. This gives him space and bandwidth to become a high earner and give us a good lifestyle. I prefer that 1) my DH make good money, 2) is loyal, loving and respectful to me, and 3) appreciates me. I do the same for him, except instead of making good money, I give him great return for the money he earns in the sense of building wealth, having a well run household and having kids who excel etc. [/quote] What about in households where men do not "make good money." Do you think it's reasonable for those men to expect their wives to handle every aspect of childcare and housework? Especially if their income does not enable them to outsource any of these items? Many more women are in that position than yours. It is, yes, easier to be a SAHM with a high earning spouse whose income will enable you to outsource unpleasant or difficult tasks, and where some tasks will never even fall to you (like needing to budget very carefully on food and house repairs). So maybe your comments are not actually very helpful except for other SAHMs of high earners, a tiny percentage of all mothers. Just a thought.[/quote]
