[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The men need to stay home and let the women run things. [/quote]

I wish my husband would agree to stay at home while I focused on my career! I am much more professionally aggressive and ambitious than he is, and and he thrives on taking care of the kids and house. He won't though... [/quote]

I know some SAHDs and the couples are very balanced and happy. [/quote]

I know some too, all happy families! But my husband says he doesn't want to, so I don't push it - I certainly wouldn't appreciate it if he pushed me to stay at home, knowing the kind of person he married. But I still wish!  :lol: [/quote]

I do think the SAHD families all REALLY thought through that decision carefully and discussed all the angles and whether it was best for everyone and planned emotionally, financially, etc. So that's why they're happy.

Some SAHM families do that but some do not and that is often where the friction comes from.[/quote]

Right, it’s only SAHD situations that are well thought out? this is so LOL worthy.. [/quote]

Please read what I wrote again. I understand people here are angry and triggered and are rushing in reading posts. I never said "only" SAHD situations are well thought out.

If you read my post, I said that some SAHM families have well-thought out situations. They are happy. Certainly many I know are.

However, SOME SAHM situations are not well thought out. Oftentimes a woman backs into it because of pressure from others, particularly in traditional communities. Or a woman says she will go back after her maternity leave and then decides on a whim not to go back, blindsiding her husband.

SAHD situations are almost always well thought out, because it is rarer for dads to stay at home and there is not the same pressure to do so from certain communities, plus dads do not typically take as much leave.

“some”
“often times”
“all thought out”
“are almost always well thought”

Bullshit meter is going off for this! The fact that you fancy yourself some sort of expert on SAHM or SAHD dynamics  is laughable. Tell me about your study size of 2 families or whatever.
