[quote=Anonymous]Life used to be more stable. Lots of men worked 20 plus years for the same employer and never seriously worried about being laid off. Maybe OP's dad was one. Now, lots of people change jobs every few years. Worse, they lose their jobs. Federal civil servants who thought they had a good life time job have been fired by DOGE. Lots of government contractors lost their jobs. You can read a thread on this about a midcareer USAID contractor who lost his job over a year ago and hasn't gotten a single job interview. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1324785.page In such an environment, I don't think it's unreasonable for a man to be wary of a woman who wants to be a SAHM. Job loss isn't rare these days. Having a spouse who is also employed helps spread the risk. It's easier to cut your expenses by half than it is to live on savings alone. [/quote]
