[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think before you got married you should have had a serious conversation. In general men just cannot balance these things the way a woman would probably want them to. I know there are some men that are good at it. But if you're a person that's always going to be upset about how they just can't get it right you need to discuss having dedicated help. [/quote]

Come on. No one has these detailed conversations before marriage.

I’m the pp sahm with $2m earning spouse.

I am double ivy educated and earned more than Dh when we got married and when we had our first child. I hated missing bedtime and missed my baby terribly. Never in a million years would I think I would be a sahm. I thought I would be the breadwinner and Dh would be the default parent. I genuinely thought I could have it all and I tried for years. At the end of the day, I wanted to chaperone field trips and go to school on Fridays and lead the class in a fun activity or read a book to the class. I wanted to go to the school Halloween parade in the middle of the work day. I hated that sad look my kid had when I couldn’t attend his preschool class party and there was one for every freakin occasion. Some moms may not feel guilty but I always did. [/quote]

But you can have honest conversations about yourself and if you are tough on someone that doesn't do things up to your liking. I know that about myself so I understand that outsourcing is going to be important to me.[/quote]
