[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are people so defensive? It could be a question from someone considering SAH. Its natural to wonder if the dynamics will change within the marriage once the woman's focus is on the home and family.[/quote]

Because of the way it's worded. The OP is expecting men to say they hate their wives or have no respect for them.

The dynamics can change (can be good or bad) but it depends on the COUPLE. If the PAID parent thinks their $ contribution is more important than the NONPAID parent's contribution, you will have a problem. Thinking it's MY money vs. OUR money is also a problem.

Being a SAHP takes a LOT of trust on the part of the SAH: trust that the WOH parent will treat them as an equal. That is something that must be discussed BEFORE either parent decides to be SAH.

I struggled with this and I am still trying to find a great balance, but overall, our relationship has improved. Our sex life has improved by far since I am usually home and available for sex. It's nice when our oldest is in school and my DH works from home and our youngest takes a nap. Time for sex! [/quote]

This is very true. My father didn't respect my mother for SAH; I married a man who doesn't see the value in a SAHP. I think that is no coincidence.  I have never wanted to be a SAHP so it all has worked out just fine.[/quote]
