LOL, I love how you people think that high earners with SAH spouses do their share at home or could easily if their spouse worked. OP's DH would likely make considerably less money in a job that allowed for him to do 50% of everything for their family. My DH would've gotten zero promotions in his company if he were not able to work late whenever he needed (a few times per week), go in at 7am; not spend his weekends doing errands, shopping, and meal planning; not have to take care of any medical stuff, had to book summer camps, had to think for a minute of his life about his kids' birthday parties or presents, plan a single thing for christmas, do any lawn or house maintenance, etc. etc. He would've stayed making 100k in his job he had when we met. It's a partnership, people. People make these decisions together.

All that said, 3500/mo sounds like plenty to me.[/quote]

Classic “if I didn’t stay home my husband would have been a failure at work”. Listen, if that’s what you have to say to yourself to justify your choices, have at at. But it’s 2023. Many if not most of the highest professional achievers have working spouses. No one needs a wifey at home to do well in their jobs. I am surrounded by highly successful colleagues - men and women - who manage to attend soccer games, plan camps and grocery shop. It’s far more likely that your dh is lazy as F and just doesn’t want to do this stuff. [/quote]
