[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I've kind of been in this situation but there were some important differences.

First, my husband had a good childhood that he was probably trying to replicate, which I think is a little different from trying to create a chance for a redo. He had a traditional upbringing, religious background, SAHM, Catholic school k-12, etc. So it was his idea that I SAH and it was something he really wanted me to do.

I was willing to try because a.) I hated my job at the time and b.) I did go back to it for a while and he was fine with that. He also sounds like your boyfriend in that he's a high earner, ambitious and hard working, also owns his own business, etc. So he works a lot and we have a pretty traditional breakdown along gender lines.

It works for now. I've really enjoyed being at home with the kids and[b] it's nice to know that he appreciates what I do. He tells me all the time.[/b][/quote]

I think this is fairly unusual when it comes to SAHMs. It certainly seems so from the women I know irl and on here who complain about lack of gratitude.[/quote]
