[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a lot of 41 year olds want to give up when they are doing for about two decades. Why is this a debate?  You are old. You are going to have to compromise or find a time machine [/quote]

Nobody should tolerate disrespect because of their age. If she ages out of motherhood so be it. It's better be childless than to get stuck with some dude who doesn't respect you and imposes on you a lifestyle you don't want.[/quote]

What disrespect? She could be contorting what she heard. Have you read her account? Her hypothetical to him sounds one-sided. I think he should run. [/quote]

OP here. I describing things exactly as they happened. He told me he wants someone to stay home. I said I'd rather we both reduce our hours if we have children and then asked him if he'd be ok with being a SAHP for  while. He looked offended and said "hell no". He expects me to drop my career, but isn't willing to do the same. I find that to be one-sided. [/quote]
