[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you kidding me?  I'm a WOHM, and I want one.

Anyone want to come join our marriage?  Two physician couple, four adorable kids.  We need someone to do all of the cooking, meal planning, laundry, cleaning, and money management, be active in the school community and with the teachers, decorate the house and celebrate holidays, purchase all Christmas presents, plan vacations and parties, sign the older kids up for activities and drive them there and back, each the little ones during the day and play age appropriate activities, do minor repairs, and hire out and manage all yardwork.

Two physician couple? There are a number of local household staffing agencies who would love to find you someone to do all this ...[/quote]

But you have to pay that person. Many people are very resistant to paying someone to do "little" things, even when they add up to big things in the aggregate.

Unfortunately, there's also too much a tendency for the person who's very resistant to paying being a husband [b]who says he would never want a wife who was a SAHM but also expects his working wife to do all of these things.[/b] I'm not saying that's the case for pp's marriage, but read DCUM for a few days (or look anywhere else in the real world) and you'll see a strong trend.[/quote]

Yes.  The expectation is that you work and do all of the little things required to maintain a household.  It's almost always the woman handling things at school, doctors appointments, birthday parties etc.  my husband gets annoyed when I even bother talking to him about these things [/quote]
