[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's up with this misogynistic stuff?  It's one thing to push your daughter to play sports or like science over dressing in pink all the time, but does it go beyond that with you or your daughter(s)?  And is he aware of that tone from his family of origin?

Separately, if you find you miss working in some capacity, go back to work and get a nanny or au pair! Everyone will be fine.[/quote]

Yes, we've discussed/argued about this very topic.  He thinks I'm exposing our girl to harmful female stereotypes. I think he's sending the message that girlish things are stupid and lesser.  And yes he's aware of the misogyny from his parents.

[b]I actually don't miss working at all,[/b] not the type of work I used to do.  I want to enjoy this time together with my kids while they are little.  I do want to go back to work in some capacity when the youngest starts school.  And at that point I will be ready for the social interaction, intellectual challenge, variety of experience, and most of all - being able to make some money again - I think that would help my confidence and help the balance of our marriage.  I really don't like feeling so financially dependent on DH.[/quote]

You sound all over the place.  I also wouldn't support my spouse spending money to go and get a degree if he didn't even like working.  Education is too expensive these days, especially a higher degree, if it isn't truly necessary.  Sounds like he's simply trying to learn from his own mistakes.
