[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband and I are a team.  We both are able to work jobs with decent work/life balance and get to many practices, scout events, etc.  I'm happy with that arrangement.  Both of us could make significantly more at higher stress jobs.[/quote]

My husband and I are a team too.
But just as most teams don’t have two pitchers or two catchers on the field, we have different roles.
His is to earn a living to support us financially. Mine is to take care of the home and children. One can argue that our responsibilities overlap sometimes because the fact that we don’t need childcare contributes to our not needing additional earnings to pay for childcare—or [b]sometimes he will drive the kids ti a sporting practice when the other kid has to be at another activity.[/b] But for the most part, we just go about our “teamwork” in a different way from the way your team works.

Some of us would like our husbands to do more than "sometimes drive a kid to a sporting practice." But glad your teamwork works for you. [/quote]

But, lady, get over yourself.  You sound like a petulant child with your “sOmE oF uS…” outrage and jealousy.

Just worry about your own family and maybe think about what steps you need to take to become happier.  You’re clearly bitter AF.[/quote]

Not bitter, just wouldn't be interested in a lifestyle where my children's parent [b]sometimes [/b]drove them places. If that works for you, then great![/quote]

“My husband and I are a team.  We both are able to work jobs with decent work/life balance and get to [b]***many*** [/b]practices, scout events, etc.”

Sounds like that’s EXACTLY the lifestyle you have…[/quote]

There are different people who responded to the original post in this particular thread...[/quote]

By replying they’re co-signing the “original” sentiment ergo the statement stands…[/quote]

Maybe go read about how threads work and then come back. [/quote]
