[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Uh, yes. I think this observation has been being made for a while now.

Note that [b]men want high-earning women, but they still often want a woman who earns slightly less, and they want her to deal with all of the childcare, cooking, and housekeeping responsibilities too. [/b]So while more men are looking for women who don't want to be SAHMs, more women are looking for men who want a situation that is more fair. I think more women now want to be SAHMs than my generation did. [/quote]

Yes, men want both.  Having high earning wife is great when they don't have kids.  Once kids come, they want the wife to take care of everything.  That is why, if you have a high earning husband, they often will give in and support their wives to become a SAHM, because that takes homecare, eldercare, childcare, petcare from their plates.  And the rich husbands also support their SAHM wives in outsourcing the menial jobs.

They will pay whatever it takes so that they don't have to do anything other than their office work.  Sorry, but, no sorry. [/quote]

This. The problems come when they don't earn enough to outsource his share or have the mom stay home. I've seen this over and over. The happiest couples seem to be the high earner husband with the SAHM. Anything else sucks for either the wife or the kids. Or both. I wish I understood this 20 years ago.[/quote]

No the happiest I see are the spouses who both have good flexible wfh jobs and shared responsibilities. I know a few couples like this and they are very happy. [/quote]
