[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I manage 75% of our home life (one kid). He handles bedtime. He manages most of our finances, home repairs, lawn, dishes, trash and that's about it. Everything else is on me. [b]We have a housekeeper, nanny and regular babysitters so that I get some support.[/b] I knew what I was getting myself into when we got married and knew that I would be the default parent. [/quote]

LOL.  "Some" support?  You don't do squat![/quote]

God, it's never enough for you people. Not enough work, too much work, he can't be a good partner if he's around too much, he can't be a good dad if he's working too much, she's a bad mom if she hires out everything, she's dumb because why wouldn't you hire someone to help with all this money? Etc., etc. This thread is hilarious.[/quote]
You’re right but please understand the “LOL” pp is just jealous of the help. [/quote]

LOL no jealousy at all just amusement at how clueless this poster is.  She manages 75 percent of the home life by paying others to do it.  Of course, she couldn’t do that if she wasn’t married to a partner making big money.  So how exactly is she “managing” any of that more than him?  Because it’s her thumb and not his that pushes the Venmo button?

I’m an early retired Biglaw partner sitting by the pool at our second home.  We have people who do everything here - the lawn, the pool, the grocery deliveries, you name it.  All I do is pay them.  So I guess I handle 100 percent of the things that need to be done here, huh?   Amazing how I manage to handle all of that while sitting by the pool all day long.  Try telling my spouse that I’m soooo busy and see their reaction ha ha.

Sounds like you weren’t a very involved parent.  Taking care of an infant 120 hours a week is not exactly like sitting by the pool all day.  [/quote]
