[quote=Anonymous]I do. DH is the default parent, not because he earns leas but because I didn’t want to have a kid and he did. Him being the primary parent was part of the deal of me having a kid. I’m not resentful that he makes less, but our home life is super stressful because our kid has significant disabilities and we both have demanding jobs. Our lives would be so much better if one of us didn’t work. I make enough money to support us, DH technically does too, but we’d forgo a lot of savings and in the long run we wouldn’t make enough to support DD over the course of her life. DH, however, has a job that’s more like a calling and would never not do it, though he could work for himself part time and probably make more than he makes now. But he has 0 entrepreneurial spirit. This is all to say that I don’t mind that he makes less, but I an kinda resentful that our homelife is as stressful as it is but could be easier if only DH were open to it. Though I do understand his reluctance - I would never want to stop working and have my life revolve around DD’s disabilities or forgo my ability to earn a well paid salary and support myself/my family.
