[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I look down on women who look at their husbands as providers.[/quote]

[b]Why? Men are unable to bear children and generally expect women to do the lion's share of child care. A man who wants a family and expects to do less than 50 percent of the care should be a good provider.[/b]

Your expectations are about three decades stale.
Get out more and see what dads are doing nowadays with their kids and at home. [/quote]

Women who denigrate the value of child rearing and home keeping are not advancing women's rights, quite the contrary.  Again, I worked the whole time my kids were young. My husband helped a lot. We had a housekeeper twice a week. It was still stressful beyond belief. This site is constantly visited by overstressed young mothers who are thinking of divorce because their husbands don't help at home or with kids.

I sort of agree with what the person said initially.  If you both want children, but only one of you is willing to do all the work around childcare, it certainly wouldn't be my choice to be both the default parent and working FT.  That’s basically the equavalent of having two jobs.  So I could see in that scenario saying the guy has to make enough so my only job is taking care of the house and kids and his is earning her income. [/quote]
