[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Aren’t people taught to follow the golden rule anymore? Put yourself in your husband’s shoes, and ask yourself how you would feel if your spouse proposed this. If you yourself would not be thrilled, then you have your answer. (Do unto others….)[/quote] Men and women are different—hunter/gatherer and all of that. I would be offended if he wanted me to work so he can stay home and nurture our young children. He derives satisfaction from financially providing for us and I derive satisfaction from nurturing our kids, cooking, and running a house. So, no, do unto others doesn’t apply to us because we are fundamentally different. It’s fine if you prefer a more egalitarian set of roles, but for us, the traditional setup works quite well (ftr, no surprises here—he was clear when we were dating he wanted me to stay home—I wanted the same. It wasn’t like I woke up one day and said, yippee, no more work for me! Staying home was always our plan.)[/quote]
