Does a woman's career always come second?

Re: Does a woman’s career always come second?

You’re not good with details are you? Read the parts I quoted below from OP. Husband is asking HER to stay home. Show me a single sentence that even hints at the husband willing to stay home himself. In fact, he is asking his wife to stay home alone to “guard” the house…a task currently done by the driver. So if a intruder breaks in…the WIFE is supposed to defend the home? And OP actually wrote that MIL right now stays home alone when she visits which indicates that the son/father does not take off from work when MIL is visiting (Look at the part I quoted in post 63).

I also want you to pay attention to the part in red. OP is at home every weekend, get home at 4:00 on weekdays, and has agreed to take off some time in order to be home with the MIL…just not the entire 3 MONTHS. So its not like OP’s job requires her to spend 60 hours outside the home OR that she’s not willing to be flexible.

BTW, I like how you don’t actually answer any of my questions.

Omission does not mean it does not happen.

You assume based on no evidence that the man will not stay at home. You have already stated you and the husband already choose to see who can do it. So why can’t this couple.

The problem is that you assume only the women will be staying at home. On what basis is this assumption made?
