[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’m a very high earner and work 70-80 hour weeks. I will be involved as I possibly can with kids, but she will be the default parent. We will hire help with childcare and housekeeping, but she will manage the day-to-day responsibilities of cooking, cleaning, shuffling kids to school, etc. My parents had the same setup and it worked. My dad was very involved in raising us, but my mom did the bulk of it. [/quote]

I think times have changed.  While there are some women who have no problem with some of what you've outlined, it does sound like an outdated arrangement.  Many women want husbands who are involved fathers even if they are working 80 hours per week.  I don't have a problem with your wife having to be the default parent if that's ok with her, but you make it sound like you'll be involved only to the extent you can instead of making it a priority.  It sounds like your family will be secondary to your career.  That's not appealing to a lot of women.

You say that your parents' arrangement worked.  Who did it work for?  Does your mother agree?[/quote]
