[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make a ton of money.   A fair amount of women would be willing to do the bulk of of the child/household work, so long as you make plenty to provide a good lifestyle and house help when she needs/wants it, since you aren’t willing to pitch in.  She will also want to make sure, in the event of divorce, that her “half” will be still be a lot and keep her comfortable , since she pretty much gave up a career and even if she goes back to work, so won’t make nearly what she could have or once did.[/quote]

OP here. I was in a relationship that just ended here I thought I found the one. We were very in love and happy but she refused to sign a prenup. I own multiple businesses and have a decent net worth. A prenup is non-negotiable. Most women do not want to sign one. [/quote]

Good for her.  I wouldn’t either if I’m expected to give up my means of providing for myself and rely solely on my husband.  That is a risky move for a women. I’m a SAHM and will likely never work again.  No way I would ever sign a prenup, especially if I planned to be SAHM or my husband wanted me to.  The years of income and career advancement I gave up are irreplaceable, add to that a shitty divorce settlement, no.  [/quote]

Another SAHM who agrees with this.

Also, I'm a SAHM in that I am with my children during the workday rather than outsourcing that to a nanny.  It doesn't mean that my husband walks through the door after work and I'm still doing all childcare solo.  He is still their father and an equal parent, even if I am yes, the "default" parent. He helps out with dinner chores, bathing, putting the kids to bed.  And he's 100 percent on board during the weekends when we are going different directions with dance and sports for our kids.  I'm kind of a concerned about the way you are looking at the role of a SAHM. It's one thing to want a parent home during the workday and another to think this is a way to get out of childcare altogether.  [/quote]
