[quote=Anonymous]I’m a WOHM who has made more than my DH for the entire time we’ve been together (over a decade) and sometimes way more. (He’s actually finally finished with medical training, so that will end next year!) I preface with that only to indicate that I have no direct dog in this fight, BUT I hate the assumptions throughout this thread that SAHMs all chose to be SAHMs with no input from their DHs and would somehow have more “rights” if they worked. In all of the couples I know where one person stays home, it was a joint decision often driven by the working partner who felt thehad r home life was just too difficult/their share of things Was just too much to handle if their partner also worked. If that’s the scenario (unlike a SAHM who begged to stay home and her DH reluctantly agreed), I don’t see why she wouldn’t get as much of a say as if she worked... maybe even a bigger say since she’s the one who sacrificed her career for the “family’s” good.[/quote]
