[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ I wasn't discounting this load, just want to make sure the OP realizes other ways his life will change if his wife works more. Often primary wage earners, men in particular, take for granted that their job is the priority and are less likely to be flexible when something comes up and one of the parents needs to take time off for the kids. Not having to worry about that because one parent is either SAHM or works parttime is HUGE.[/quote]

Can you concretely characterize the daily workload the SAHM carries? I have three active  Younger kids in the OP, and there are periods of planning, such as summer camps, or change of seasons for sports and activities. And then there's the taking the kids to the activities, but there really isn't that much time  nothing like an actual job. I am not sure this is some kind of unified  propaganda that SAHM use together to pull the wool over their breadwinners eyes  over why they have to stay home.

It's not like OP career doesn't take investment in planning outside of his day-to-day work, maybe he is just punching it in, but in order to actually succeed and keep your job it takes more than just showing up for a paycheck.  Further apparently he handles ALL financial affairs. [/quote]
