[quote=Anonymous]I will say that this (DH perception of family roles) really has affected our marriage and ability to successfully start our own family. MIL was a SAHM and did EVERYTHING for kids and around the house. FIL had and still has a very close relationship with his kids (sports coach, etc) but never did much “taking care of” kids. Or work around the house. Flash forward to our life now with two full time working parents and two kids. We’ve struggled A LOT working through things that he thought were ‘normal’. He didn’t see a lot of the child rearing as his job. Or cleaning....why? His mom always did it! Obviously I’m sure there are some families with a SAH parent that manager to avoid this, but it’s been really difficult for us. DH basically had to relearn family roles and responsibilities. Both of my parents WOH so I really struggled with his thinking...[/quote]
