"So your spouse wants to quit their job and become a full time home-body...."
Thu Jan-22-15 11:53 AM by Rich_G

  

          

And after some conversations and number crunching you both come to the conclusion that it's do-able based on your earnings and the savings you both have amassed and your current revolving bills.

So now your spouse ask you, what are your expectations for the their new responsibilities regarding home life (child care, cooking, cleaning, shopping, errands etc.) sans a job?

What would you say?

And this is for both genders.

Kids/No Kids, how many, age etc. is relative to your situation. Or come up with multiple scenarios.
