[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I would be super annoyed if my husband expected me to work after 15 years of being a sahm. [/b]I mean, I would probably work anyway bc what else am I going to do, but if he pushed me about it? No way.

Where is your gratitude for this woman who presumably carried your three children, potty trained them, sleep trained them, raised them, planned your social life and family vacations, and kept your house? This is why women shouldn’t ever agree to stay home bc once all the hard work is done, their husband might turn on them like this ahole.[/quote]

What?! Why? He's been working this whole time. What would you think if he said he'd be super annoyed if you expected him to continue working after he was the sole breadwinner for 15 years?

You did your job for 15 years, as did he. Why now should he be the only one working? Seriously, what planet do you women live on?

DP and I work full time at a challenging and rewarding job.  But I would not go back to work after a 15 year hiatus and work in some junior level position, and my husband would never expect me to. He’s “the only one working” because the experience of someone who is in their 50s with no career break and an at-home spouse is significantly different than the experience of someone who stepped out of the workforce and is just returning.

If people are planning to eventually go back to work, they are probably better off just staying in the workplace. Just hire as much help as you need and make sure both parents step up equally. [/quote]
