Should a feminist wife be an equal contributor to the household finances?

18. YOU ARE. I am a wife. I worked for the whole time my husband was in the military and

we retired. I worked for another 9 yrs. But I wanted to stop working because I was extremely tired and had some medical issues. I also wanted to stay home to take care of my mother-in-law and granddaughter. I was lucky enough that my sister send us some money that allow me to stop working. I didn't work fulltime though. I worked about 25 to 30 hrs a week. But I will tell you once I stopped working it was nice. I didn't have to go out and buy new cloths for work or drive the car as much. But if I had to I would go back to work. I would find something I could do. I couldn't work full time because I can't stand or sit long periods of time. But I would find a way to help my husband. I would look for ways to cut back at home. Shame her into going back to work. These are hard times and you need her help. Enlist her family to help get her off her but. I have been married for 32 yrs. If my husband would ask me to go to work then I would know that it is a serious problem.
