[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. I make my own money.  Do you have a high paying career yourself?[/quote]

No. But by the looks of it, I probably will have to if I want to give my children the life I envision. [/quote]

Why did you assume you wouldn't have to do so? I'm guessing you were born in the 1970s.  I was born in the 1960s and always assumed I couldn't rely on a man for money.  DH and I make about the same amount.[/quote]

Oh FFS.  Are you really going to make this into a generational war?

I was born in 1976, and I NEVER expected a man to support me.  NEVER.  In fact, I went about my life as if I wouldn't get married.  I bought a house on my own.  I never expected a man to provide a "lifestyle."  I married for love.  My husband makes about the same.  When we first started dating, he made less.  I didn't care what he made.  He works hard and isn't lazy.  I don't think I could've married someone who was lazy and apathetic.  But that has nothing to do with wanting someone to provide for me -- that has to do with wanting to be with someone who believes strongly (as I do) in providing for himself and not relying on other people.

But enough with the generation bashing.[/quote]
