Money or Financial Compatibility and Relationship/Marriage/Divorce Part 2
Hello,
Here are some more thoughts on this topic. I have already mentioned that when you look for a partner, make sure that you are seeing eye to eye regarding finances.
Here is a very important point I would like to make. Before people get married, there should be an agreement between the couple as to how work is going to be divided between the two of them. It is critical to know whether both are going to be working, or just one of the two.
This issue becomes crucial for couples who decide to have children. If one of the two parents chooses to stay home, it has to be with the absolute consent of the other in order to avoid any sore points between the "future parents".
The one who stays home with the child(ren) should have the understanding the he/she cannot just babysit the child(ren) and do nothing else, and then claim that he/she "took care of the kids". The reality is that the person who stays home, whether it's the mom or the dad, should be responsible for other tasks such as homework, laundry, cooking, etc... Of course, the working person should help too, but realistically that person will come home after a full day at work with little energy, if any, left.
Other arrangements are also possible. More on this next time!
Have a great weekend!
