[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a woman but my husband doesn’t care. I make $80k/year and he is an MD making $450k/year. We have 2 young kids ( 2.5 and 3 months old) and I do most of the day-to-day childcare and manage the household. He takes care of most of the finances but I manage everything else - cleaning, cooking, groceries, etc. He is very involved when our kids and helps out with cooking and cleaning, but I do most of it. Not to sound too 1950’s housewife but I love it. I enjoy being needed and taking care of my family. I find it more fulfilling than my career. [/quote]

There is nothing wrong with it at all, except if I were in your shoes I am not sure I would work more than 30 hours per week with the majority of household things on my plate. I work 50-60 hours per week and DH is a full partner at home because if he wasn’t I would just die of exhaustion. I never look at this problem in terms of money but rather leisure time. Money can be inequitable in marriage but resentment starts to stew when LEISURE is inequitable. [/quote]
