Turn it around...
If YOU earned $1,000,000 a year would your DH work? Would you want him to work? Expect him to work?
Re: Turn it around...
I wouldn't expect him to but I think he would want to because he'd be bored and I would want him to because if he was bored I'd be miserable
.
I almost think he'd (we'd) see my income as a way to do the things to really change/grow his business that he can't currently do because he doesn't have the capital! And I'd be happy to support him in those ventures because I know he really loves being a builder.
If I were still married to the X, yes, he would work. He is addicted to his job.
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
This except the builder part. He'd start his own business in the O&G industry.
Nope, he'd quit to focus on fun projects that he doesn't have time for now.
So when I get around to writing that cookbook...
you know you'd have a long line of nesties waiting at the book signing!

That would also be Js first project. We talk about it all the time
I honestly don't know. He loves his job but I think he would rather practice American Indian law if he could. That was his specialty in law school but it didn't pay back his 6 figure loan quickly enough so he went in to commercial litigation. So, maybe he would hang out his own shingle and do that at a significantly reduced schedule.
I left my job not because we think there has to be a SAH parent, but because my job offered NO flexibility and even as the primary wage earner, he would end up taking on most of the sick days or other things when a parent has to miss work. It wasn't worth it. So, if he could work a job with a lot of flexibility while I made the money, I think that would work well for our family.
He would probably start an IT consulting business where he could make his own hours, etc. He gets bored just staying home, and wouldn't have the patience to be a SAHD.
He would work. How much he would work would depend on what I did and the flexibility of my job and how much it allowed us to travel.

Nope. He's told me more than once that he'd love to be a kept man.
Actually, that's what he says, but I don't buy it. He'd be miserable. I think he would definitely change industries though.
I don't think so. He really likes to sit around.

DS would probably become a full time student or maybe go to culinary school.
The thing is, we tend to live with how much we make. As in he makes more money, we spend more.
That all said, he'd love to be a SAHD especially now that Ds really favors me over him and will often make a show of hanging on me and not wanting Dada.
If we buckled down, we could do what everything we ever wanted to. We'd get our dream house, private lot, provide for family, travel....*sigh*too bad it'll never happen.
But if he was a SAHD, wouldn't he be taking care of the kiddo every day?
