It depends on a lot actually. If a couple decides that one will be stay at home, and then later split up, since being a stay at home parent doesn’t get you a tax receipt, you’re fucked. So now you’re out on your own with a giant resume gap and a lot of time of missed opportunities and sacrifices, while your ex spouse jets off with all the family income and advancement. Would you as the stay at home dad think that’s fair? Cause I think that parent is owed a damn lot. I say this as the one who brings home all the money in my household, my stay at home spouse does more and is more valuable to this family than I ever hope to be, she’s just straight up better than me, so if we ever split, damn right I’ll take care of her and feel she’s entitled to that, especially as the mother to my children, it’s my duty to make sure she’s ok even without me.
