or maybe from his perspective - "that you get the joy of being a full time mother for 14 hours a day, while all financial responsibility falls on his shoulders, and yet she feels she's entitled to a monetary refund too"
being a full time stay at home parent is something that many people do not have the luxury of being. something that we all would love the opportunity to do, but cannot.
Ken, I support myself. He pays communal stuff. I'm a stay at home parent who works part time. He's a work full time parent who ... helps with D when he's feeling in the mood to do it.
Either way - it's not a luxury to live like this, trust me.
