My husband was laid off two years ago. Since then, I "bring home the bacon." He cooks, does the dishes, does the laundry, cleans the house, does all of the shopping, works on the house, walks the dog, does my errands, and just about everything else. When we have a baby, he will be the primary caretaker of our child. It is not the usual path, but it is working out well for us so far. The hardest part for me was getting over the notion that I was being taken advantage of. Money was not the issue, fairness was. However, we are in the admittedly privileged position of being able to live well off of one income. If we were struggling financially, I suppose that I would be telling a different story.
