[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think one of the pitfalls is the mom becomes more and more immersed in SN parenting and starts basically doing it solo and the dad checks out more and more because he doesn't understand all the therapies and terms and such and doesn't really want to be an expert on it anyway. So you kind of grow apart.

Financially how is this if your child may need support in adulthood?[/quote]

I posted above about being home for several years and then returning to a flexible job. This has definitely been an issue for us. I know more about autism and have stronger relationships with our providers, so all the decision making falls on me. It's definitely a source of resentment.[/quote]

Or the dad checks out of the information flow and stops researching, but still wants to have decisionmaking power anyway, based on his gut instincts and general vibes. Also annoying. The nice thing about both working is it can force the dad to carry more of the SN load so he doesn't wander away from it. Because once he's out of it, he'll be very defensive about that.[/quote]

This is a negative look at it. When I worked I did not have a flexible job and my husband did not have flexibility.  My income did not support a nanny.  No regrets or resentment.  [/quote]
