[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm happy that works for you PP. Seriously. You both seems to have a good arrangement that works for you.

What's disgusting about your posts is that you are criticizing and demeaning other people who don't follow the same philosophy that you have. Women (and it seems to be only women, you know, the ones with the vaginas) are moochers, being subsidized, greedy assholes because they don't account to the penny and do a balance sheet every month. You are degrading households that come from a different perspective.

Look, good for you. It works for you (obviously). Shut up about how other people are choosing to live. Both perspectives are valid. I think the push back you're getting is from your "why do women feel entitled" bullshit. Many families live with shared household incomes. Many families don't. [/quote]

actually if you read the thread its ME that was attacked ad hominem first

and I wasn't getting any rational reasons for the argument being made.

The one where you slam stay at home moms and then refer to your way as the "modern approach" thereby implying that other approaches are outdated? That one?[/quote]

I never addressed SAHMs.  I think that is a unique scenario that deserves its own consideration.

However, in the world of working parents, women's lib, and equality - equal expenses and labor is the only logical thing.  And no one has made a cogent argument to the contrary.

This isn't your post?

SAHMs:

We know what the value is for a SAHM because there is a market for the replacement of them - nannys.

You can have an experienced live in nanny for $40-50k. Housekeeper once a week for another $7500 per year.

So SAHM: your value to the household is around $60k MAX.

So please please please stop acting like its the "hardest job in the world" or that the value is some incalculably high number, it just isnt.

and btw folks, just because you are married doesn't mean everything has to be shared 100%. my wife and I keep separate bank accounts. we receive our paychecks and then contribute a fixed amount to the joint account. we retain the rest for use as we see fit.

I make 3:1 so naturally I get to retain a lot more.

We contribute 50/50 to household duties and have a nanny+housekeeper.

this is the modern approach
