[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I make 0 and am a sahm. Was a sah wife . my husband seems happy. I was in grad school for math and dropped out due to pregnancy.

However my husband isn't expected to lift a finger at home. I take care of everything kid related, school related, house related. I do discipline for the kids (he will do discipline if specifically requested, but he wants to enjoy his time with them). We have a bunch of kids and as they get older he does spend more time taking them out.

I think it's fair. He also lets me hire help when i need. I do find it a bit isolating but that's what girlfriends are for. [/quote]

If you’re happy with that, great, but I would be miserable with that set-up.[/quote]
Meant to respond to next poster. This is pp.

By do discipline I mean dealing with kids negative behaviors. He works a lot so in his limited time he doesn't look to deal with the fighting, toilet training etc. However if I feel we need to be a united front about something, (which happens more often as they age) I inform him via whatsapp or email and he always backs me up. 
I know it wouldn't work for many people, but it works for us. I don't think men mind earning more so long as they feel their wife is also putting in effort to the family in her own way .

And my husband very much appreciates the food I serve him now that he works from home, and all the work I do. I think resentment builds on both sides when people feel unseen and there isn't a clear division of labor.

"Do discipline" as in Borat "do sex"?[/quote][/quote]
