[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It won't be my sons' dream.  Lol  They see the role model of two parents doing it on the home front and the work front and they are proud of their mom's career too.

They always had a parent pick them up after school and one coaching their teams and on the sidelines.  They saw a man do 'women' chores and a woman do 'man' chores (I say that facetiously)--but my husband taught them how to do their own laundry, etc.

I was raised the same way. My husband had a single mom working two jobs.  We both feel strongly about breadwinning not being all on one partner's back...and the same with child care/house stuff.

But, the bonus is with increased $$ you can have a weekly housekeeper and do a lot of things so you have even more time to spend with your kids and get your workout in, etc.[/quote]

People fail to discuss the stress that comes on one person earning only.  They also fail to discuss the resentment a lot of the one earning all the $ has and the one at home being pissed they aren't home more. I hear far more complaining about SAHWs and husbands that aren't home to help in the 'traditional-dated' roles.[/quote]
Lol
I would personally love to have the earning potential to “stress” about never having to handle any housework or emotional burden or worry about work deadlines because of kid appointments or sick days or school events. The kind of stress that comes from working is just fine when you have someone else handling all your other responsibilities. I would happily have DH SAH if I could afford to. [/quote]
