Does a woman's career always come second?

No…the question is WHY does she need to stay home? Father and son managed perfectly in the last 2 years, and MIL had no problem staying home during the day by herself (with the servants).

Of course. If there is some type of urgent situation that requires one person to stay home, then husband and I discuss and decide who is going to stay home based on our schedule. There is not an automatic assumption that I will stay home simply b/c I’m the wife.

So I ask again, if there is a “requirement” that someone needs to stay home during the day, why is there an automatic expectation that is has to be the wife? And why is the guy expecting OP to stay home for 3 MONTHS when his mother comes to visit from abroad…when the mother has done this in the past 2 years without any problems?

BTW, I want to point out that no one is saying that OP can NEVER stay home. As I wrote earlier, if someone is sick, if there were small children in the picture or some type of emergency..that’s a different story. But that is not what OP’s husband is referring to.

Because you do that as family. That if need be you stay at home for a few hours or a full day.

No where does it state only she will have to do it alone. Talk about insecurities surfacing.

At no point is it stated that she is being asked to do this alone.
