[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes your DH is a jerk, but he also has a point.  I don’t think he is wrong in general sentiment.  Kids are a LOT of work.  Building successful kids that have the most possible opportunities later in school/life takes a lot of dedicated nurturing and time- both to enrich their strengths  and work on their deficiencies. This take a lot of resources; both time and sometimes money.  This is why it is mostly the kids of UMC families getting into the better schools.

If you don’t nurture their minds and are simply in survival mode; cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, driving, then they may not have the opportunity to do anything beyond a blue collar job.  There is nothing wrong with blue collar jobs, as you said.  But it may not be their choice, they may be shut out of other schools and opportunities.[/quote]

So you think it is all on OP to do for her children?  As noted earlier. It is 2022.  Ozxie and Harriet and June Cleaver are distant memories.   You think a 3 yr. Old should be doing laundry?  You are as bad as OP'd husband.[/quote]
