[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, OP, I get that your ideal is what your dad did (work a lot when the kids are little and then have more free time later) but consider that that’s probably what he HAD to do and not a intentional lifestyle choice. My H works a lot right now in the hopes of being able to semi-retire in 5 years or so, but if he could scale back now without a big hit he totally would. Our oldest is in second grade, our youngest is due in January, and these are all ages where they need and adore time with their parents. Older kids are a lot less work and a lot more fun to hang out with, but I promise you your imaginary SAHW is going to resent you choosing to work a million hours when she’d love you to run around in the yard with the toddlers after dinner so she can put her feet up for a second, then swooping in time do the fun stuff years later when she actually has the energy for it.

OP here. I will be involved. Most women are the default parent, but that doesn’t mean their husbands aren’t involved. I will be involved. I regularly babysit my nephew when my brother comes into town. I will be involved by I won’t be there 24/7.[/quote]

You babysitting your nephew when your brother comes to town is not the same as being a father. The fact that you equate babysitting to being a father is telling. Being a parent is a 24/7 job. [/quote]
