[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, but I do look down on women who marry a man based on his provider status.  DH and I both make a decent living and could provide for our family of four on our own in a pinch but do better as a two-income family.  Notably, I do not personally know many very high earners who are also very involved parents and personally, I'd rather the latter from myself and my husband.  We have both made career choices that have limited our income in favor of increased flexibility and time with our kids.  [/quote]

Yeah, it is hard to be that involved when you work more than 60 hours a week. Let's be honest. There are only so many hours in a day.

Some few lucky people have reasonable hours with pretty high salaries, but they are the minority.

My husband's income alone will probably not do it, but my oh my is he a great, involved father.

If someone offered to double or triple his income if he could work a little more the answer will be no thanks. We have it pretty good.

But free money, oh yes, I will take.  :lol:

So while I do not envy men who make more and work longer hours, I think men who have inheritances and non-crazy families(that's another issue-family with money can be pretty crazy) have it pretty good.[/quote]
