[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am my own boss, work part time, and from home, so I have a very flexible schedule. I think my husband appreciates I contribute in multiple ways because of my flexibility - although my financial contribution isn’t much, it enables me to do a lot of volunteer work, cook fresh meals every day, get all the errands done for the family, etc. I think I have a life of leisure in the sense that I can meet a friend for lunch whenever I want, I can take a nap during the day, I workout one hour every day, etc, but I am also parenting from 3pm onward, managing a lot of the house duties, and working.[b] I think if he had to do all the parenting stuff, house management, cooking and cleaning AND providing the income and health insurance[/b], he would definitely be resentful (and rightfully so). I think as long as partners are both contributing to the benefit of the family in their own ways, there will be little to no resentment. [/quote]

I don’t know any men that do this. [/quote]
