[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe Op's husband should decide that he hates going to work and earning money support her.

All this "but she hates it" is such garbage. We all do things we don't like to keep our household running smoothly. It's called being an adult. I'm not a good cook either, but I can put some olive oil, spices and breadcrumbs on chicken breasts and make some rice and vegetables.[/quote]

Stop. Being the working parent doesn't mean you abdicate all responsibility as a member of the household. A SAHP is a parent, not all around maid-cook-gardener-whatever.

I do not stay at home, but if I did, I would assume I was parenting the child, not my husband, which means he could clean up his own mess and make some meals, ya know.

However,  I also would not stay at home, because so many SAHPs and WOHPs seem to believe there is a power imbalance and the price for staying home means being an indentured servant. No thank you.

As for not cooking being expensive and unhealthy, not entirely true. I cook twice a week. Husband does once. The other 4 nights, we budget for eating out and we eat well[/quote]
