[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do you mean that he isn't taking the lead on dinner/childcare?  Are you are coming home at 8-9pm to hungry, dirty children who don't have their homework done?  Or is it that you want him to get up and cook for you or get you take-out at 9pm?  What happens when you travel?  Do you have to arrange carpools or have your mom come to make dinner for the kids?

I am not saying that this is super-hard work.  I am a SAHP of five, three of them are in school, and it isn't super hard.  But I think you are exaggerating here on how very little he contributes to your household and really minimizing the difficulty and expense of finding and keeping quality childcare/housekeeping for the hours you need it.

You know, it isn't that cleaning and cooking is difficult, but it is time. I'm not a SAHP, but if my DH could afford it, it would make life easier to have that flexibility. Or at least have me work part time. Yes, the kids are in school now, but parents are going to need additional help soon.  Life is easier when one parent can be at home. Provided that person does the work around the house.[/quote]
