[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The point of the article was that both halves of the couple have equal education and earning power, but someone (typically the woman) steps back. OP is saying her DH agreed to step back and then does a shitty job of it. That's not fair. Actual salary has nothing to do with anything, if that is the deal they made. I'm the DW, am the stepped-back spouse who definitely is the default parent, and I earn north of $200k and am not part time. Saying the DH should get a pass just b/c he is also a high earner is nonsense. [b]He agreed to lean out, he needs to actually do the stuff that comes along with that. [/b] [/quote] You can be "leaning out" at a job without regaining enough time to be a "leaned in" parent. It's likely to happen in jobs with income this high.[/quote]
