[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you should spend more money on outside help.

I do NOT think you should amp down your own career to pick up DH's job on the parenting share, unless maybe your negotiate a very good post nup with him. Rather, pay others to do as much as possible. [/quote]

Came here to say this. Outsource everything first. Then if you must scale back, explicitly tell him you have to scale back to pick up his slack, and get a post nup.  Also make sure your name is on all accounts, and you handle the household finances. Establish a retirement account in your name, only, that he contributes to monthly.  You are taking a huge risk to accommodate his laziness so protect yourself.

Personally, I wouldn't do what you propose. I'd either divorce or do intensive couples counseling in which he agrees to basic ground rules like hauling himself out of bed in the morning by x time, no work on weekends, home for dinner three nights a week, etc. He's a jerk, but you have allowed this situation to settle in.[/quote]
