[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You sound really, really entitled and obnoxious. You have no right to demand someone else's labor this way. I'm honestly kind of shocked at the greed in this post.  Also, you don't seem to have a good grasp of the reality of being a sole wage earner.

Question: what if your DH decided unilaterally that he wanted to stop working forever? How fast would you divorce him?[/quote]

Answer:   [b]My husband can’t give birth or breastfeed[/b].  He also has no desire to stay home with children.  Therefore, it’s a silly question.

Interesting you say you have no right to demand someone’s labor.  Because I feel like that’s what my husband is doing.  He’s wanting a second child and for me to continue working in a demanding job.  [/quote]

This is ridiculous and completely irrational. No wonder your DH doesn’t agree.

If you were infertile and adopted your child(ren) would you still be magically entitled to be the SAH one?

I’m a married lesbian and I wonder which one of us you think is entitled to stay home, given that we both have ovaries and can breastfeed. Answer: neither.  No one has the right to not bring in income, just as no one has the right to not provide childcare. If these things are split in a certain way, it should only ever be by MUTUAL agreement - not because of anatomy/chromosomes. [/quote]

I think we are living in completely different cultures.  [/quote]

Your culture is apparently the 1950s. [/quote]

I guess so!  Look, I’m married to a white UMC wasp.

To be fair, [b]very few men in America even take time off after their wife has children. [/b] So it’s a little silly to act as though we should all be held to your standard of both spouses being treated 100% equally after having a child.  This just isn’t the reality that most American women are living in.  You’re in a completely different situation where you even have the same reproductive organs.  [/quote]

NP.  You sound dumber and less sympathetic with each post.  You definitely shouldn't have another kid.[/quote]

It’s dumb to acknowledge that most men don’t take time off after birth?  That’s a very sexist comment on your part.  Way to insult a woman who dares to acknowledge how men don’t do enough when it comes to children.  [/quote]
