It has become increasingly common to find that traditional gender roles in the household are no longer --well, traditional. Who is the primary housekeeper, parent, breadwinner? It isn't always what one might expect which raises some questions about how best to navigate the relationship when the traditional roles no longer apply. For many men, being the stay at home father/homekeeper is a delight but for others it is a challenge when one's spouse or partner makes more. And it isn't limited to men and women--the same inequity questions can crop up in same sex relationships as well. That's in part because money often is viewed as power affecting the balance of the arrangement. Alvean and Doug talk about this perceived inequity and related questions in this episode, a complete transcript of which is available here:
