[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound really, really entitled and obnoxious. You have no right to demand someone else's labor this way. I'm honestly kind of shocked at the greed in this post.  Also, you don't seem to have a good grasp of the reality of being a sole wage earner.

Question: what if your DH decided unilaterally that he wanted to stop working forever? How fast would you divorce him?[/quote]

Answer:   [b]My husband can’t give birth or breastfeed[/b].  He also has no desire to stay home with children.  Therefore, it’s a silly question.

Interesting you say you have no right to demand someone’s labor.  Because I feel like that’s what my husband is doing.  He’s wanting a second child and for me to continue working in a demanding job.  [/quote]

This is ridiculous and completely irrational. No wonder your DH doesn’t agree.

If you were infertile and adopted your child(ren) would you still be magically entitled to be the SAH one?

I’m a married lesbian and I wonder which one of us you think is entitled to stay home, given that we both have ovaries and can breastfeed. Answer: neither.  No one has the right to not bring in income, just as no one has the right to not provide childcare. If these things are split in a certain way, it should only ever be by MUTUAL agreement [b]- not because of anatomy/chromosomes[/b]. [/quote]

Most couples don’t have the luxury to ignore anatomy when deciding who stays home with children. Your post seems incredibly ignorant, entitled, sexist and clueless.  [/quote]
