I’m going to be quite controversial here. If I was earning what she was earning, I would prefer my husband stay at home to look after our kids. It makes financial sense that the bigger earner goes to work. Especially if you have to pay for childcare.
That said, my husband wouldn’t want to because in his own words “you are better at it and know about all the little things they need”. He’s not cut out for baby groups etc. I work nights and he goes to work in the day. Financially we could just about cope if I didn’t go to work but I suck it up so my kids can have the extras they deserve.
In the case of the Hinchcliffzzzzzz though, there’s no need for him to not be at work or in actual fact, not to have his own time to himself? Sophie is at home. If she needs to work away, Freda would help. All he seems to do is skulk around the house and be made fun of by his wife? When he tries to do his own thing (ie, in the garage working out), she follows him and loiters?
I genuinely don’t think this is a decision he has made rather than one that’s been forced upon him. I can’t blame him for taking a “career break” after Ronnie was born as it’s a special time and they grow so quickly. A lot of people would love that option and no one bats an eyelid at a mother staying home whilst the husband works. I think he probably helped orchestrate all of this, expecting to also become famous but it never happened.
I think it’s a very unhealthy situation for them both. Couples need time apart and they are literally in each other’s pockets all the time. I guess what I’m trying to say is I feel sorry for Jamie....a little bit.
Bloody better be you, honestly sneks everywhere these days
