[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The amount of money a man makes has nothing to do with what kind of father/husband he'll be. [/quote]

This, this, this.  In fact, they can be inversely proportional.[/quote]

Yup. Look at Trump. Not meant to be political, here, but he’s the one who bragged about never changing a diaper.[/quote]

Can't stand the "man", but I would not change diapers if I was a millionaire either. [/quote]

WTH? My DH is a BIGLAW partner who made 750,000 the year our first was born, $1.4 million when our second was born, and $3.5 million the year our third was born. He changed diapers for all three kids. They were, after all, his children. He also held them practically nonstop, even if it meant typing on his computer with one hand.

And you know what? When we got married (at 30) he worked for the government, and we both made less than 100K annually. I didn't marry him for his earning potential. I would have been content if he had stayed in the government. Heck, that's still where our closest friends work. I married him for so many other reasons, including his desire to be an involved and committed father.

You people are weird. If you want a high HHI, go out and earn it yourself. But if you want a life partner, you'd better look for more important qualities.[/quote]
