[quote=Anonymous]I'm not sure how this works.  I don't resent my husband but would for not pulling his weight in some capacity.  It seems like for each us, men and women, the choices are 
breadwinner, child care, house maintenance.  We each need to pitch in evenly to ensure all three are taken care of.

So if both parents work, both parents evenly split the other two.  If one parent works, then the balance of the other two needs to be shifted accordingly.

If you wanted to be a SAHM (I never did and to the person who couldn't find childcare, I have an amazing nanny who fits none of your categories, you need to look for a while) you needed to make that agreement before choosing your partner.  If you want to work and have kids, your partner needs to be clear on this choice too and be ready to make a contribution.

So if you are resentful that you can't SAH, I can understand if it's because of an unexpected setback, but if not, you probably should have picked an appropriate partner.
