[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even in well paying jobs, I’ve noticed that the men with SAHMs notice the men with the same jobs but who have wives who work have less pressure and more income and are envious especially if the spouse has good enough hours they do a lot of the SAHM duties. [/quote] Yeah but what woman wants to work FT (or even nearly FT) and “do a lot of the SAHM duties”? Who would sign up for that? As a SAHM to a high earner husband I do NOT think mine is the ideal. I think the ideal is TWO flexible family friends jobs with TWO fully engaged parents. But I didn’t know this when I got married at 24 to someone attending law school. My mom worked AND did everything at home and I saw how miserable she was. My dad worked but did nothing else. [/quote] Genuine question: if that’s what you saw in your parents’ marriage, why did you sign up for a similar arrangement? [/quote]
