[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Plan ahead and do your homework, girls. Don't be like me and get stuck with a loser who can't afford to keep things a float and APPRECIATE a woman playing a traditional role, if that is what you want.

I regret marrying my husband every day. I thought I was marrying for love but I was just being an idiot. [/quote]

I bet he regrets marrying a leech. [/quote]

Or it could be a partnership where each spouse contributes different things?  Or maybe the husband doesn't solely judge his wife on her job or lack thereof?  Is being a sahm anymore of a leech than a child?[/quote]

A teenager does not need constant, one on one hands on care (barring special needs). [b]What exactly is the SAH spouse "contributing" at that point that equals an income that will benefit everyone?[/b] [/quote]

Cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, laundry, gift buying/wrapping, home maintenance, etc. At that point its more like a homemaker.

Also, some of us are married to husbands who make so much that the incremental income we'd bring is not needed and would barely be noticed. Its not like we are living on credit card debt or skipping college/retirement savings for me to stay home. Quite the opposite.[/quote]

Not trying to sound elitist. Just saying that my husband would rather not have to deal with any of the above than have an extra $10-15k after taxes. It would be different if our family was doing without. But we are simple people and live well below our means. No one would guess his income based on our house/cars/etc. My clothes are from the Loft at 40% off and my handbags are from TJMaxx.

Seems you're not the target audience for this thread.  Note pissed-off husbands earlier in it.  But it's cute that you call the income people mention here 'incremental." What a snooty, elitist thing to say.[/quote][/quote]
