[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, why should she do his parenting role, hers as well, AND work full time outside of the home? Just because she’s a woman?[/quote] DP. Ask the OP that question. She seems to want her husband to do her parenting role and work full time outside of the home because she makes more money. [/quote] 50/50 is the default expectation unless both explicitly agree otherwise. For example, OP and her husband mutually agreed to prioritize her significantly higher earning career. Yes, he is a high earner. However, a career that caps out at 200k is not in the same subcategory of high earner as a career that brings 400k a year with the potential for more. He agreed to prioritize her career precisely because it is significantly higher earning. The only way that she can prioritize her career is if he picks up the slack at home. He agree to this and he's not holding up his end of the bargain.[/quote]
