[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I bet the answer would depend on how old the kids are.  I assume there are probably lots of men who might wonder what their wives do all day, once the kids are in school full-time.  I know my guy friends have wondered this aloud to me.  But when the kids are really young, it's cool for the wives to be home with them.

it would probably also depend on the salary that's not being earned.  a $30K earner isn't going to have much impact on the family if the husband makes a lot, but a $100K salary could make a big difference.[/quote]

Nope. Not in this house.  I didn't stay at home until the older kids went to school.  One of my school-aged sons threw up this morning.  You can bet that my husband, away on business, doesn't want to deal with that.   It seems like there is always a snow day/ doctor's appt/ after school sports/illness, especially when you have three kids.

Agree.  I am a SAHM of 4 school age kids.   While I am sure my husband would love the extra income, h[b]e literally wouldn't know how to handle things like snow days, needing to pick up the kids early if they got sick,[/b] etc.   He has always had me around to take care of that.[/quote]

I find that sad. Do you not?[/quote]

What would he do, if god forbid, you died?[/quote]

Quickly remarry, and hope that step-mom will do it all. [/quote]

I am not the pp, but my husband and I have discussed this. He concluded that he would have to get a live-in nanny and have the grandparents rotate visits a lot. Certainly wouldn't be an ideal situation and everyone's lives would change a lot. [/quote]

Where do you all find these Neanderthals?

My God, DCUM is so good for my DHs sex life. When I see stuff like this, it makes me want to fuck the hell out of my DH, we both WFH, so I suppose I can fit one in in the next hour before the kids get home. It serves as a good reminder that I picked a KICK ASS husband and father for our children.

Not only was dude's W2 this year sitting at 467K, but he also knows how to braid hair and whip up a delicious porcini mushroom sauce.[/quote]

Somehow I doubt you want my husband to leave you open on his operating table so that he can go whip up some porcini sauce. But okay. [/quote]

Yes, yes, yes...your husband is so important. we heard you already.

[b]I have a newsflash for you. Most women do not marry old crusty surgeons. I for one would not. I love that my DH can make a half million dollars a year in 40hour a week with a bachelors from a state school.[/b][/quote]

Ok. [/quote]

For the record, I originally posted about being married to the doc but did not post the replies above.  Looks like there is at least more than one wife of a doc.  You referring to them as "crusty and old"- kudos, so intelligent.

So do [b]most[/b] women marry men with a Bachelors degrees that make 500K?    Well that is a newsflash to me.

Carry on with your smug self.

Signed,

Wife of hot, 40 yr old Top Doctor that just might save your life or your loved ones life one day... or might leave you on the table to go braid hair.

So sad and pathetic when women wrap up their self worth in what their husbands do for a living. Awful. Sorry for you.
Signed,
Woman with her own career who doesn't define herself by what her husband can do. [/quote]
