[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife and I are both professionals, we make similar salaries and share the child care and household duties evenly. She would be terribly unhappy without her career and is a highly skilled professional. I support her and her career just as she supports me in mine. There are certainly some men who deep down just want a wife barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen, but most of us have evolved beyond that.[/quote]

Most men have not evolved past that..they want both…in the same person and it is an unreasonable expectation.[/quote]

LMAO at women thinking men have unreasonable expectations. Women (and especially women over 30) inevitably have a list of 3,257 Absolute Requirements that a man must have before she will consider a relationship with him. And the truly hilarious aspect is that her requirements are steadily increasing as her hotness is steadily decreasing.[/quote]

I don’t know if men have *unreasonable* expectations (because that is idiosyncratic to the personalities and finances of a couple) but I have found that men have *uneven* expectations. I’m in a dual-career household where my husband makes about $75k more than I do, and we have a good split of domestic responsibilities. On the other hand in addition to working the same hours and doing a little more than half of the childcare (I’m nursing) there is also the expectation that I maintain a higher standard for grooming and self care than he does, which means in addition to doing everything he does, I also have to find the time for workouts, cosmetic care and clothes shopping, which I hate. I am also responsible for making sure our child looks presentable/her clothes fit.

So I would say even in a successful, balanced marriage a woman is still expected to do everything the man does, but backward and in heels[/quote]
