[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think there’s a universal experience here. In my SAHM years, we still treated money as joint, even though I wasn’t working. He has never once questioned any of my purchases or spending habits. I work now but he makes many multiples of my salary, so it’s not even that different (I work in the non-profit sector and am successful but will never have his earning potential). I obviously took on way more house/kid stuff than he did. He often vocalized his appreciation for how hard I worked and things like “I couldn’t do what you’re doing,” meaning full-time parenting, and I know that he meant it. Once I started working again, we had to be intentional about rebalancing responsibilities. [/quote]
