[quote=Anonymous]I may be projecting, but you sound a bit like me. I put everything on hold to be the SAHM when they were little and then the default parent in a flexible job as they got older.  DH focused on career and got ahead.  Along the way there were lots of luxuries for him (suits he needed for work, golf retreats he needed for networking, scotch nights with the boys he needed to recharge, etc., while most of the luxuries that were "for me" were things like a nice car (to drive the kids around) a part-time sitter (when I had 3 under 4 and was trying to find time to be with each kid one-on-one while nursing and handling all household errands and projects, etc.  As my career is finally getting back on track, I am really enjoying being able to indulge myself, and if DH announced that we as a household should be done with luxuries so that he can retire, I would be very annoyed.  The way I see it, we were BOTH contributing to the family during those years, but only he reaped the personal-indulgence benefit most of the time (and truly, I was fine with it then), so now it's time fornus to both work but I get to indulge a little.
