[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DH  did not strike me as a traditional man, but he never touched my earnings.  My money was my money, and his money was our money.  As a result, I  saved every penny I earned, retired at 40, stayed at home with my kids, and had household help.

We are not living the high life but we are certainly living a very good life.  We are on track for retirement and college.  My husband treats me like a queen, and  helps out with household chores when he can.  I am surprised to hear husbands resenting their wives, because my husband is actually grateful that I left my job and stayed home with the kids. [/quote]

My husband is happy for any family related reason - sports, doctor's appointments, helping the kids buy new sneakers - to take leave and spend time with his children. He would resent me if I forced him into a job with more hours and stress, and much less family time. Why should one spouse have all the family related work, and one spouse have all the paid work? Not good for the parents' relationships with their kids, or for financial stability, or stress.[/quote]
