[quote=Anonymous]when one person works a job and the other works at home the marriage dynamic is: Work-outside-the-house spouse supports the work-at-home spouse by working their ass off at work. Work-at-home spouse supports the work-outside-the-house spouse by working their ass off at home (i.e., cook, clean, logistics, kids, etc.) This allows both to specialize and makes them more efficient in their specific tasks. It is difficult and distracting to work my job AND juggle running the house at the same time. The work-at-home spouse needs to remember that the person working the job is working to support their ability to stay home with the kids and manage the house. Where people lose respect for stay-at-home people is when they are not part of the overall gameplan/team. They spend time at starbucks and shopping and complaining about the work-outside-home spouse rather than working on a joint financial/family plan. [/quote]
