None of the women here have stated they would like to be exempt from the responsibility of raising their children though. All they’re merely saying is instead of an order, it needs to be a joint decision both come to. And why not? Its a partnership right? So consulting your partner should not make anyone feel like less of a person…that would make for a really small person to begin with.

“Joint decision” is a term that only you have used here. Most of women posters have commented saying, “don’t want to be told what to do”, “wouldn’t ask anyone”, “would just inform the husband”. Women don’t say that want to be exempt from raising the children but they do say that they want less of that.

All this makes me wonder, why can’t a man just get up one fine morning and tell his wife, “Honey, starting next month I will be working part-time only. That is all I can do. We will be taking an income hit. Please be ready to deal with it.”
