    "Now growing up this is what I observed and my mom didnt work "

    You're forgetting that back then you could live off of one check easily.

    Read that article... back in the 50s you could earn enough to pay rent with less than a week of work. And that's on MINIMUM wage.

    These days you have to work almost twice that just to pay rent.

    Now if your husband doesn't mind then fine... but don't be surprised if he gets annoyed with having to support a fully functioning and capable adult.

      Yes its what I was privy to growing up, so why should it be any different now? He is more then capable of supporting and providing for the household. He just needs to get off his lazy ass and do it.

        "so why should it be any different now? "

        Did you read the link I provided.
        it's different because cost of living is higher.

        And frankly if you're telling him "get off his lazy ass" to go provide you a life... I say you might find that's not the best way to motivate him to want to work for you.

        I know plenty of men who would look at a statement like that and say "time to eject from this relationship"

        so be careful what you ask for.
