[Antoninus]

As opposed to what...a needy, clingy wife who has no interests other than you?

No, as opposed to a wife who puts the welfare of her family before an illusory desire for 'fulfillment' that can only be achieved working 40-60 hours per week outside of the home.

[farlander]

And how's that defined (the welfare of the family) ? Why is that only *her* responsibility to put before something else ? It's a *man*'s responsibility to do the same.

Here's a question for you - if your wife made more money than you would you stay at home and be a house husband ? If your answer is *no*, ask yourself why that is, and why should you place that same burden on a woman.
