Fortunately he's picked up a lot of slack at home and with the kids.

And not always nice. Such an interesting topic. I think a big part of the crumbling of my relationship was that I was the primary breadwinner and not very happy about it. And not always nice.

It's a stressful job, though I get great satisfaction from it. It get's difficult when I look around, and see needs (home improvement, college funds for the kids, lessons, etc.) and I can't find a way to fund those things; my husband's income is static and significantly lower. (So, I started blogging...who knows what it may become!) It's a definite frustration, though. I’m the main breadwinner. It’s a stressful job, though I get great satisfaction from it.

Mine is higher, and I carry the benefits. My husband has no problem with that; his father, however, still acts confused that we don't fit the 1950s sitcom stereotype.
