[quote=Anonymous]Many men don't care what you do as long as you are contributing constructively to the household. So a SAH mother who is caring for the children and home is constructive. A SAH wife who is only working part-time especially if you are outsourcing some of the work such as housecleaning, yard service, paying for grocery delivery, etc is not constructive and is frustrating to a spouse. I've known a few friend-couples who had this problem. The husband made a good living and income, and the wife made no real effort to work or take care of the house, didn't pursue more training/college to be more qualified. Those wives are now ex-wives. Conversely I've known couples who had similar situations where the wife took household management seriously, kept a well run home, meals provides, house clean, home stocked and did a combination of part time and volunteer work that kept them busy and constructive and are still married. So, it really isn't the income or career that matters, but that the partner isn't just living easy and taking a free ride. [/quote]
