Reply #12: I think you are a supportive spouse [View All]

Someone has to tend the home fire. If you both worked 10-14 hour days your household would suffer unless you hired someone to help. Since you have more time it seems reasonable that you would fill in.

I have been a stay at home mom as well as the only adult working when my husband first left the military. So I have experienced both sides of the coin. My husband pitched in and did the things that needed to be done no matter who traditionally filled that role when he was between jobs. It was great.

You're right it's a partnership and its cool when it works out so well for couples and families. Good for you MrsG. MrG is fortunate to have found you!
