[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]1. Practically, women end up doing the fine details of domestic work even with a SAHD. Thank-you notes, school projects, PTA fundraisers, clothes shopping, b-day party planning. Men have a lower threshold of what it means to get things done right. [/quote]

This would be 100% my concern.  If my DH was a true SAH parent, i.e. maintained the house; handled cooking/food; on top of all logistics of kid's doctors, school, activities; handled all events/holidays, ect.,* I would LOVE the set up.  What I would anticipate though, would that I would still have a brutal second shift, even if by SAHing, he kept the kids alive till the end of the day.  That would be a no-go for me.  Basically, if he treated SAH like a job and gave it his all, I would be two thumbs up - even with the financial hit.

*Expectations may differ if e.g. there are 2 kids under 3, special needs, etc.[/quote]

Yup. The typical SAHD I know is definitely below average when compared to SAHMs. [/quote]
