[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He should expect the same from you! Both people should have ambition and potential though it's not all about money. [/quote]
But forget about children, because someone needs to raise them. Winging it after you're exhausted from from office job isn't a good plan.[/quote]

Nevertheless, people succeed raising kids and working all the time. My entire neighborhood actually.[/quote]
And I bet the parents argue quite a bit about house chores and childcare.  Most do.  When my DH and I had kids our HHI was close to $400K, and we still argued about childcare, housechore type stuff because we were both working.  Sure, we outsourced as much as we could but you can only outsource so much. Someone still has to be the parent and take care of house/child stuff.  Too stressful.  I pushed DH to have one of us cut back. I gave him the option. He said no, so I cut way back, at one point became a sahm, and life was so much less stressful.  My libido also went up.  Bonus for him.  We had to  move to a lower col area to achieve this. Everyone is much happier.[/quote]
