And you are keeping his house, raising his children, cooking meals, scheduling activities. It would cost A LOT for him to outsource these services. The DW/OP is contributing probably more than the husband![/quote]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Thank you for that!  I needed a good laugh this morning.

Anyone who thinks a wife who stays at home is contributing financially more than a husband who works because she cleans the house, takes care of the kids, and cooks is hysterical.

I am not saying those things are worthless, because they are not.  But let's say you pay a nanny $75K a year (which most people would never do anyway, I'm just going to the high end).  Then you pay maids $15,000 a year to clean.  And [b]you pay a chef, I don't know what chefs cost, $10,000 a year to cook?  So[/b] that's $100,000 worth of services you are not paying for.  That's a lot!  But how many men whose wives stay home earn less than that?[/quote]

I get you are not familiar with chef salaries but you get that a full time employee anywhere in the US cannot live on $10,000 a year right? This "estimate" is absurd![/quote]

I thought that was a fine estimate for a personal chef since they likely aren't full time anywhere and are serving 5 or 6 clients in the same capacity. [/quote]
