[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I cannot help but laugh because this is the ultimate bootstraps vs luck conversation but with marriage and Dads.

Some people here insist if you dont have a 50/50 marriage and are unhappy then its the womens fault for not asking the right questions or being blinded.

Some people here insist that their good luck in finding a 50/50 husband who grew into a 50/50 partner (FYI HUSBAND AND PARTNER ARE DIFFERENT FUNCTIONS) was not good luck at all. And is completely their own doing.

There is no consideration for societal issues, family of origin issues, cultural expectations, changes in workforce issues, discrepancies in how employers treat and react to involved Moms vs involved Dads, how schools function as if it's still the 1950s with one parent at home completely available to drop everything, that the data the person keeps showing about how Dads work more hours than Moms still totals up to less hours on all stuff compared to Moms and there is no extrapolation for how much income each person is bringing in. ETC ETC

And the list wasnt inclusive it was representative meaning women experience few, some, most, all of the list with their partners. [/b][/quote]

I know this post will get either ignored or trolled to death but I just want to take a moment to thank you for being rational and reasonable and attempting to engage in an actual conversation on this matter instead of simply trolling people with [b]"but my husband always does 50% -- did you not bother to discuss this with him before marriage? clearly you are stupid and deserve what you get."[/b]

Thank you.[/quote]

It's not rational and reasonable because it misrepresents what people have said.

Where are these posts?

Also, no one said what you posted. [/quote]
