And I will add. People hate on daycare but my kids are better socialized for it. They problem solve and learn to work with others. Besides sickness, I think it has been beneficial as they have begun preschool.
This.
My wife stayed home with our third for a couple of years. Once he started daycare, he was absolutely behind on the social aspect of things compared to my other 2 that went to daycare at a young age.

I think it’s stupid to paint with a broad brush. That being said, maybe he knows something about her that we don’t.
I know a lot of dudes whose wives stay at home and their relationships rarely seem to be better for it.

this, not everyone is cut out for that, if they're not self motivated and disciplined you're not doing them any favor

The best ones are the single moms on dating apps that list "stay at home mom" for their occupation.
No halfway decent man is going to go to work everyday and pay all the bills so you can sit at home watching Netflix all day and raise some other guy's kids.

I know quite a few couples like that and don't understand it. I know a few like that because their moms were money grubbing whores that destroyed their dads and even step-dad's lives and refuse to continue the cycle. Sometimes, like in my situation, the wife would rather work and pay someone to do shite she don't want to. We never separated our money except for little stuff and cash we could use to get each other gifts or other surprises without the other seeing the receipts. Nothing much though.

It's weird that you know so much about another couples finances.

Probably wants to bang the wife.

Choose your mate wisely.

Any moron who thinks that staying home to raise kids and manage the household is a 'vacation' deserves a serious lashing and doesn't deserve the kids and the wife. Period.

If you keep separate bank accounts as a married couple, you've got some serious issues at the root. Never marry someone with whom you would not share a bank account or who would not share an account with you. That's a trust issue (or lack thereof) that will wreck what is supposed to be the deepest, most sincere, and most sacred relationship on this earth.
my parents have been happily married for 50 years and still have separate accounts. they own a business with each other and get paid into their own accounts.
now... my wife and I have never once operated this way, but they were boomers and mom always went back to work after having two kids.

This morning I walked my 4 year old into school no problems.
Kid and dad that walked in with us was whining, crying and wouldn’t let go of him. He just started last month.
My son is more confident and knows how to reasonably handle himself at 4. He is very adaptable since he has been a few places now by himself.
Not crying on the floor and holding on to daddy for dear life.

That being said, my husband knows he can retire whenever he wants and I’ll support him. He’s not the idle type so I have no worries there.

You don’t know how much they spend

My wife doesn’t work. I give her $1000/month ‘allowance’. I also get an ‘allowance’. It keeps us from arguing over if one or the other is spending too much on hobbies, etc. You’ve got your fun money and I have mine.
I feel it works out for me. She loves to cook and keeps the house very clean as she’s a neat freak. I’m the breadwinner going to work and providing a stable financial life. Crazy how well things work out when a family takes on properly defined roles and are not constantly competing against each other and inconveniencing their other half over career goals that don’t mean a damn thing. The only career goal someone should have is to retire.

same here(no husband-no homo,) my wife doesn't have to work, nor do I for that matter, we both love our jobs and they are very flexible when it comes time for us to need certain days/weeks off
