[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its not about salary IMO its about hours you are home. Whoever is home more usually ends up doing more housework...duh.  And BTW my husband would love it if I outlearned him because "more money is more money!"[/quote]

Agree. I'm a DH to a higher earning DW. She makes roughly $250K to my $125K.  All our money is pooled. There is no her money and my money, it's all our money.

We both work the same number of hours essentially, though I work much closer to home than she does so I get home first and do all the cooking, routine kitchen cleanup, etc, through the week. The rest of the household duties are pretty much split as we both have about the same amount of time on weekends. Her salary vs my salary doesn't come into play. It's about free time.

BTW I was a SAHD for 5 years when our kids were little. They're in college now so I've been back to work for a long time. But when I was home I did pretty much everything and still had time to waste...I kinda miss those days.[/quote]
