[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is pretty typical dad behavior, which is why I'm increasingly an advocate for SAHMs even though I wasn't one myself. Working TWO jobs isn't a great advance for women. You can't change someone else. If men want kids but don't want to raise them then they should provide the income. [/quote] OMG, what?? This is not typical, acceptable, or excusable. He's your PARTNER, not the sperm donor and provider. Nobody's perfect, but you have to work on building a healthy, equitable relationship and not just say "men will be men, guess I better get back in the kitchen!" And what happens when this checked out dad decides he wants to check out on the marriage and leaves? You're a SAHM will no income and you have to scramble to get back into the professional world. Ugh, this advice just kills me. It's so sad and depressing I can't handle it.[/quote]
