I really don’t get it either.
So many marriages break down, so many men are arses.
I also think women (& men) need educating as to what the workplace looks like after you’ve taken 5,10 years out. IME people think they can take a ‘career’ break to be a SAHM. Intending to go back and telling their DP they’ll go back and contribute financially to the family pot again. Lovely in theory but getting back into most careers is nigh on impossible as skills and tech moves on.

If you were on minimum wage job pre kids then surely you can get minimum wage job post kids? Not saying its going to make you rich but if thats what you were going to earn whilst bringing kids up, i'm not sure it makes any difference? Think you are referring to people who give up high earning careers
