[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think in the scenario you describe with the nanny and cleaner and day camps etc. the DH is likely a high earner and being able to support this type of lifestyle is a sign of success. If there’s plenty of money to go around and he doesn’t have to cook, clean, do childcare, etc. then what benefit would there be to the spouse working? I can see resentment building if the DH is under a lot of pressure to provide and the lifestyle is not easily funded. [/quote] I agree there’s no benefit to the spouse working in these scenarios but I’d be upset if they chose to stay home and also fully outsourced childcare. I think it’s less about not working and more about how you spend your time. Iy almost feels like the sah spouse is another dependent in this case. My dad is a high earner and my mom went back to work after us kids were in school, out of a desire to have something for herself. And we never had a nanny.[/quote]
