Thanks so much for your comment. You are totally right - every couple is different and has to do what works best for them. And by the way, the bathrooms in our house could be cleaner too (but I'm still not going to clean them) :)

Comment by Sue Burton on April 6, 2009 at 11:47am: You're not alone in enjoying being the breadwinner -- You're probably not even in the minority! My own mother (brilliant and talented) stayed home for years -- partially because she "believed" it was what my father wanted. As a result, she suffered from years of low-grade depression until she went back when my younger sister went into High School. Back at work, she blossomed like a new person. A few years later, my father was "pretired" in a buyout and now she's the breadwinner. Guess what, they're both happier and their relationship is greatly improved. At our house, my husband is much, much happier being home than I am. He's patient, doesn't require as much social stimulation, and fantastic with the kids. Our bathrooms could be cleaner - but let's face it, I hate cleaning them too! When my husband and I follow our inner compasses, we know this arrangement is what works best for our family -- Yet now & then, societal pressure makes us both wonder if we are freaks and should change things up. Two snow days in a row are usually enough to clear that right up!
Breadwinner moms are often too busy to seek one another out in person, but we'll always have the internet!
