[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We decided before marriage to assume traditional gender roles, meaning I'd take care of children + everything domestic. It has to do with efficiency/comparative advantage and our personal definition of success in which SAH is a luxury.[/quote] Interesting. In our house, it's a tossup as to which of us makes more money in a given year, so there's no gender bias as to who should WOH. I will say I have the comparative advantage on household duties, but doing 100% of those just because I'm better at it would not make me happy. I also find it interesting that you see having a SAHP as a sign of success, instead of one parent's inability to earn enough to pay for quality childcare.[/quote]
