[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you sound like a great catch and are offering up an lifestyle that many woman would love to be part of.
37 years old is still young. 
DC is such a lousy place for dating, but I am certain you can and will meet someone.

Here’s my take after reading 10 pages.

Can the SAHM demand.

You’re using it as a proxy for the only way to raise young kids properly, and that’s untrue.

Find someone with similar values, they work or not, they have graduate degrees or not. Talking about how to raise kids, fathers roles, mothers role, hired help, preschools, sports, ECs you’d like to share, coach, teach. Bring up how how you work and what else you bring to the table.

She will need to be Ok with running everything (plus her job/career).

I ended up in this position as my spouse is a work and phone addict. He’d terrible with the kids. He has no idea what’s going in with anyone’s schedule or life. I still work to keep my sanity. I suspect if you found someone v social with lots of friends and family around here she wouldn’t suffer as much as someone who does not. 
I’d gladly trade the $1-2M a year for him having a normal hour job, be more involved, and be more “with it” at home. I still make $400k, in a family friendly job.. We met in bschool.

And managing the help, isn’t all peaches and cream. It’s like another employee and you need to pay double for someone truly good, with a brain.[/quote]
