Who is the breadwinner in your family?

You or your spouse/partner? Or if you are single, then I guess you are!! :thumbsup:

bringin it home and making PB and J's with it:silly:

:bounce:

:rofl:

:P

Long Time no Viddy......

:bounce:

I take care of the house, and errands, and talking to his mom. :D

I make a little more now but for a long time she made more.

Me from home. Him some from home, some on the road, but I don't make nearly what he does.

I think I would really enjoy it!

It allows me to be here for my kids and take some pressure off my husband as being the sole breadwinner.

I started back when my littlest one went to kindergarten. I do pretty flexible hours, generally starting about 6AM and quitting about 10PM for good, but I take breaks in between to drive carpool, feed the kids, volunteer at their schools, etc..

The one bad thing is that you are never really 'off the job'. I thought I would be different once we got our attic converted into my office, but instead I found myself running up two flights of stairs all the time to check email.

I just bought a blackberry and now I use that. It has been a great stress reliever.

:)

Although I think he should get more credit for it, considering he is sitting in the sandbox of
Iraq right now.

Me? I play singing games and dance with K-6 children all day.

Hmmm...but there are some days I would switch places with him ;)

:hi:

I know you do too!! :hug:

:hug: backatcha!

:hi:

I am the snotty nose wiper and bon-bon eater. ;)

I do pay my bills myself though.

:D

I pay all our bills (except his credit card and car payment)
and pay vet bills and whatever else comes up. He usually
provides food so it pretty much evens out. Twoard the end of
the month, I have to give him money sometime, but what's mine
is his.

Hey, I'm just in college after all.

I bring home the bread (our basic needs), and she brings home the good stuff to put on top of it...

but I control the money. :D

I left my career when the kids were young. Daycare didn't work well for them. I may go back someday soon.

He earns the big bucks so I'm a stay-at-home wife doing 100% of the housework and about 95% of the yardwork. But it gives us most evenings free to do whatever we want. A very laid-back way of life.

I just make a few $ more. We both work, we both clean/do laundry, he mows, I cook.

I don't... not of my generation or younger anyway.

but basically, between the two of us, I put the food on the table/kitty dish.

He earns the money, working in the tech field in Silicon Valley and I manage the domestic scene at home and take care of our two kids.

Life is good and we are blessed. :hi:
