[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp - my working friends all seem miserable and overwhelmed. I have more kids and a special kid and we are okay. Not saying its never difficult but we wouldn't exchange it for anything.

In a way the clear gendered division of labor just makes less arguments and stress. I have no expectation he'll do wake up or bedtime, so I'm very grateful every time he does do it (most of the time). He listens to me regarding discipline issues and I take notes from PTA and send to him to loop him in with where kids are holding but don't expect any input. [/quote]

Thanks but no thanks. I could never do this, however easy or luxurious it may seem. And most importantly, cannot raise my daughter this way.[/quote]

DP here.  I will certainly not let my DD drown in balancing work, home, kids and unequal pay and hostile work environment in the US.  I have made sure to set her expectations of how it will go down for her.  Not filling her head with the nonsense that she can be anything she wants and still have the family time, marriage, relationships which a normal human wants.  She has to be smart in choosing her profession and make sure that it provides her a good paycheck to outsource whatever she can. Finally, she will have no student debt and also support from us (money gifts, childcare, downpayment to her house) to succeed.
