[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand, OP. Presumably if he is not the main breadwinner, he can be making your life easier by handling the childcare and home stuff. I personally think households with two parents with "big jobs" are not good for kids if the parents constantly work long hours and have to be on their phones when they are home. (I am not interested in the fake stories from unicorns who make 500k but only work 30 hours per week.)

I don't understand the draw to ambition in a superficial or financial sense. yes, I want a spouse who does something that means something to them and works hard to be their best. No, I don't want someone who thinks earning money or climbing the corporate ladder is a meaningful way to spend time. If you are making bank, OP, then isn't is great to have a spouse who can make your house a home? Who can handle emergencies and other things? You guys are partners. If you are both working all the time, what will happen? Many women would kill for a chance to be the breadwinner. So many of us can't make "big money" so we mommy track ourselves wherever we are so our husbands can reach their highest earning potential. There is stress and disappointment either way. But people forget that couples are a team. [/quote]
