How does being a SAHM change the dynamics of a marriage? I make a similar amount as DH and never have to think twice if I want to buy something for myself (within reason, of course). I expect DH to share housework/childcare equally. We make decisions collectively and neither of us has the final say. Everything just feels very equal and balanced in our relationship. Does that all go out the window if you're a SAHM? How does it work? [/quote]

Well the problem is not that you cannot buy whatever you want, but that you cannot afford it if you cut your household income by half 😂 if you are SAHM of course you will do more house work and childcare , why the heck not? That’s basically what a SAHM is supposed to do. so yes, there will be less money to buy stuff, so you will not be able to buy whatever you want anytime, you will need to consult big purchases… and you will do more chores. Any other questions? It’s pretty obvious to me. Why the heck would the working spouse still do everything Half/half?[/quote]

Not expecting to be 50/50. Asking more if it means the wife will do ALL the chores/childcare. Like does the husband come home from work and always get to kick back and relax while the wife continues to do all the housework and take care of kids?[/quote]
