[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think DHs who resent their SAH wives are ones who are low earners and need the additional income. [/quote]

Agreed. I bring a trust fund to the table and my husband is a high earner. Our three kids are in early elementary school. I'm happy keeping our home running smoothly and cooking healthy meals, allowing the kids to be active in sports, and to enjoy our low key relaxed summers. Anyone who would judge us for being happy with how our family runs has their own issues. [/quote]

What mutual interests do you and your husband share, other than your children?[/quote]

Are you implying that couples who have different careers have mutual interests automatically? How silly.

Because of our set up we are able to enjoy our mutual interests (travel, skiing, golf, hiking, good food and wine etc) without having to coordinate two work schedules or constant childcare/nannies. We get to include our children in our interests when we choose.  That flexibility is worth way more than the $180k I used to make. We simply don't need it and I don't understand why I should take a job from someone who does need it- especially when we mutually enjoy our lives just as they are.
