She won't be getting it for long. Temporary orders. When I hammer her in the final she will be getting significantly less.
She wasn't smart.

decisions like these are the origins of the myths that men are paid more than women to do the same job

Yeah that is what prompted me dropping that on him. At the time I was working 60 hours a week between 2 jobs and doing ALL of the housework, bill paying, grocery shopping, etc. I was mentally and physically exhausted and he made a comment about the house being a lil messy that day and I snapped. I had been holding in my frustrations for weeks and had wanted to sit him down and talk with him rationally about how I felt taken advantage of and that I needed him to help out more, his comment just set me off.

OP's wife has a job & he's complaining. Good lord.

What does your wife do for work?
Posted on 10/2/14 at 3:03 pm to Gaston
My wife makes double what I do.
Zero fricks.
I did put her through grad school though, so I have some entitlement to the process.

Yea, I can see that. My situation is a little different, in that my wife makes $0. Not like she's working and makes less, she's a full-time student in professional school.

Don't feel bad nurse. I've dropped the "I'm the only one working" line. Of course she was spending a third more than I was with no young kids to raise.

We'd be in our 20's making around 350k+. I'm willing to consider that F-You money. It may not be Bill Gates type of F-You money, but I'm willing to live with calling it that

Not married (and granted, we've argued maybe 5 times in 3 years), but yeah... we are hugely against dropping bombs/name calling/etc.

No thanks. It's under appreciated, but that doesn't mean it wasn't the best choice. In hindsight it's 100% the right degree for undergrad. I should have gotten another undergrad in ME instead of the MS in EE, but oh well.
