[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, real life man here with a very educated SAHM. [b]Want me to clue you in on what the men REALLY think?  I mean, are you really ready to know the truth of what men feel about this when we are out having drinks and its unfiltered conversation??[/b][u] I am in a field where the average pay for men in early to late 30s when the babies come is 125-250k.  My rough guess is about 3/4th of our wives SAH after kids, and 1/4th continued to work .

Here's the truth: It doesn't really come up.  Seriously.  The men with SAH never really complain about it.  If anything, we occasionally comment something like "it's nice having a SAH so I don't have to worry about rushing home."  The men with dual incomes?  They might comment that it's nice to have two incomes.  The men with two working parents don't look up or down on those with one income and vice versa.

Want to know what we talk about? Sports, the hot girl from accounting, the lack of sex in the early childhood years.  Work, occasionally the kids.  And the hot girl from accounting.

My point - just talk to your husband.  Most men are going to be fine with whatever works for the family.  Since your husband makes big coin, either option is going to work for your family.[/quote]
