Maybe the man wants well taken after children, a clean home, less stressful life and to have sex? That's so sad you think a sahm doesn't contribute anything to your family. You're just the type of man I made sure to avoid marrying. I'm a working woman and successful but I married a man who will appreciate the sacrifices I will make to make a family for him.

Here we go again. Of course, YOU'RE the only one making sacrifices.

Where do you get I'm the only one making sacrifices? Or course both spouses make sacrifices. Just saying I want a man who appreciates the ones I make and I appreciate his.[/quote]

So, you wouldn't mind if he decided to be a SAHD?[/quote]

[b]That would be more than fine.  But I would expect him to do all of the housework, provide excellent childcare, cook meals,pick up drycleaning and look for ways to save money. He would also have to understand we have to cut back for him to stay home. [/b]

That being said, my husband makes a lot of money and has a fantastic career.  He is the type of man who wants to take care of me and provide for me.  So I would be shocked if he wanted to stay home. [/quote]

Most SAHMs don't even come close to doing all of this stuff.

They used to, but many SAHMs now feel that their "shift" ends when DH comes home.[/quote]

Just because your wife doesn't do this doesn't mean it applies to "most" sah moms. Generalizing is so lazy and stupid.[/quote]
