And your dh made enough $$ to support both of you comfortably, do you think you would be working?

Why would a job prevent that?

You keep saying that he didn't and doesn't expect you to do those things, but if not you then he must have to do them. I realize that I keep harping on this, but IMO, it's not a BAD thing for the WOH spouse to expect those things from the SAH spouse if there are no kids and the SAH spouse isn't heavily involved in out-of-the-house activities. I mean, you said yourself that you do do those things. There's a reason for it, right? Won't you feel a little weird if you left them for your dh to do after work?
I guess you're right. I choose to pay the mortgage and provide my family with health insurance. Silly me.
And I can guarantee you, the care I used for my son when he was young was never impersonal. His family day care provider moved 2,000 miles away a few years ago, and we are all still close friends. Your "impersonal" comment was insulting to many.
