[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I’m a very high earner and work 70-80 hour weeks. I will be involved as I possibly can with kids, but she will be the default parent. We will hire help with childcare and housekeeping, but she will manage the day-to-day responsibilities of cooking, cleaning, shuffling kids to school, etc. My parents had the same setup and it worked. My dad was very involved in raising us, but my mom did the bulk of it. [/quote]

OP,  my husband and I have this set up.  He is a law firm partner and I am a SAHM.  I had our first at 37 after getting a PhD and having a career.  My best friend is similar, the wife of a partner who formerly had a political job.  We are both in happy marriages.  For me (and a believe for my friend), I don’t mind taking on this role.  I had almost two decades to work and now I am enjoying having little at home.  We are not religious or conservative. Just regular, well educated suburban liberals.  [/quote]

Just out of curiosity, PP... do you also have a prenup and does your husband control the finances?[/quote]

I don’t know any families with a SAHM who have a prenup. Honestly even without a prenup, the SAHM is only *sometimes* entitled to half the value of the assets earned during the marriage. Alimony is practically unheard of. I can’t imagine a woman willing to take on this role and forfeiting her share of wealth earned in the marriage.

OP, your question is not how to find a SAHM, it’s how to find a stupid SAHM (who meets your other standards.)

Good luck with that.
