[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I actually think it is friends who post on DCUM who are jealous of their friends who are SAH parents.

OP here. I am totally jealous of my sah friends and tell them that. I mean, I’m jealous of the getting to be home with their kids aspect. And not having to balance kids and a career.

What I don’t understand is not working and not spending the time with your kids either. I’m not jealous of sitting by the pool all day why husband supports everything - to me that would feel strange. Like even if they had a low paying for fun part time career that would be something. Which is why I’m curious how people in these marriages feel. [/quote]

There's no one answer here because it's dependent on the two people in the marriage (and also possibly the kids they have).

I know a man whose wife stays at home and he thinks she's now boring and dumber than she used to be when she worked. He isn't happy with their arrangement at all.

I know a man whose wife stays at home and he thinks she hung the moon and is the most amazing person on the planet and he's so grateful for her. [/quote]
