[quote=Anonymous]DH generally prefers to keep things equal in our relationship.  He wanted me to have my own career.
He didn't want to be 100% responsible for the household income; he preferred to share that burden.
He wanted to be able to "daddy-track" as much as I could "mommy-track"; being the sole earner wouldn't let him do that.
He wanted to be present for field trips and PTA meetings and sick days and snow days just as much as me. 
He didn't want me to feel reliant on him for spending money. 
He saw what happened to widows or divorcees in his family, and wanted to make sure we could each support ourselves independently.
I love my career, and he didn't want me to lose that.

It's worked well so far.  He does at least "his share" of household chores and kid stuff, if not more.  We're muddling through COVID, but have discussed that if distance learning gets the best of us, he'll take a sabbatical for a year to stay home with them and I'll keep working.  Our incomes are about the same, so that's not an issue.[/quote]
