[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]According to this thread, when a man works 60 hours a week it's to support his family and it is his contribution to the household.  But when a woman works 60 hours a week the extra hours are a hobby, replacing any free time, and show that she's a terrible mother.

OP, as you'll see from the examples on this thread, when couples find it too hard to make it work with 40 hour + 60 hour work weeks, usually the lower earning spouse steps back.  All of the misogynists on this thread are telling you to cut back your hours--have you asked your husband to step back?  He's the lower earning spouse right?  Why can't he go part time?[/quote]

Have you actually READ any of the posts? OP expects her husband do the work of a SAHD but he's not a SAHD and he doesn't want to be. She can't control his behaviors, she can only control her own. So she needs to talk to him about equally splitting responsibilities.[/quote]

Another thread recently was about the SAHD who was spending his hours in the gym and the housekeeper was running the house. The OP was very unhappy because she wanted the man to contribute, make her a panini, fire the housekeeper and do the work, not go to the gym...

In short, such women have a problem regardless of what their husbands do. [/quote]
