Imagine being stuck in your “I am the provider of this family” gender role so much that you turn down this kind of offer.

People underestimate the value of decent family benefits and the cost of child care. The benefits of having a stay at home parent breaks even way sooner than people think.

Depends on where in the world you are. Pre-kindergarten-daycare for a toddler costs about 300 € where I am, so two working parents are taking home way more than they have to pay additionally.

I would work even if I didn’t need to. Right now with some cutbacks we could probably make it on my wife’s salary. I like producing.

$12 million/yr? The average person isn’t able to comprehend that level of income. Thats ~$47k per HOUR. Like the average amount of money the median american makes in a YEAR.

$47k an hour is more like $98 million a year. Just under.

Some extra zeros slipped in there somewhere. That careful attention to detail explains the lack of 8 figure salary.

$12,000,000/52 weeks = $230,769.23 per week.

$230,769/40 hours = $5,769.23/hr.

I know how to use the calculator, Do I deserve it?

Depends on how much she shares of that $12 million

For me it’s more if she is a loving wife and doesn’t lord her income over my head. Because that’s a shitty thing to do no matter what gender you are.

I’ve seen variations of this, which seem like the intent is to be progressive, but the $$ is always set to some ridiculous amount (like $12 mil??).

I’d do it for a normal human salary if that’s what my family needed.

I’d even do it for a normal lizard salary, if needed.
