[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We decided for me to SAH over 10 years ago when my DH made far less than he does now. I think he made MAYBE 100k/year. We cut back on everything to make it work. He makes around 1 mil/year now. [/quote]

He probably wouldn't be where he is without your sacrifice. Sadly, not many men would do it for their wives.[/quote]

I actually hate this. She is his mommy taking care of all personalities so he can be a workaholic. These kind of couples screw it up for parents who want an actual work-life balance.[/quote]

NP. You could save yourself a lot of angst if you just acknowledged that not all men whose wives stay at home are workaholics.

And no, we don't screw it up. Blame companies who make it extremely difficult to have work life balance. Blame the medical system that makes it extremely difficult to raise a special needs child without one parent having an absurd amount of flexibility. Blame our system that doesn't give paid leave and that makes childcare extremely expensive, often more expensive than the salary of one of the parents. We are just doing the best we can navigating the same system you are. [/quote]
