My girlfriend [24f] says she will not work if I [24m] ever meet my goal of earning 250k a year.

I understand my comment is getting downvoted, but id argue that not only am i correct but most of the people disagreeing with me have no actual experience with the demographic in question. Either that, or i just have had experience with particulaly bitter/lazy SAHMs.
I have previously been a SAHM, and am currently a WAHM. I have been a mother for over 13 years. In that time, I have been in ptas, girl scout groups, boy scout groups, gymnastic lesson waiting rooms...look you get the picture...with literally hundreds of women. And I have spoken to them. And listened to them gossip, with myself and others. And did so myself. Id say I know what the fuck Im talking about. These were all SAHMs, because quite frankly, people with real jobs dont have the time to sit around and complain about their lives all day, just like I dont now.

Most of these womens 'responsibilities' consisted solely of spending the money their husbands made. They almost all had housekeepers, and they made sure to schedule playdates the day after the housekeeper came. They shoved dinner in in a crockpot. They let their babies watch yo gabba gabba and blues clues all day. What they did NOT do was work hard at home keeping things up. How do I know? Because I was right there along side them exchanging tips on how to do as little as possible. Sure, Ive met one or two who were actually disappointed because they had to leave their little one in a daycare. But most of these women had grandma keeping their kid at home, who was fully admitted to be a better caretaker than the mom. The number one complaint i ever heard was not being able to sleep in any more. The next was how badly their scrapbooking time was impacted. Of course this isnt 100% going to be the ONLY experience, but seriously most women that I have met who PLAN to be a SAHM want to do so solely because they want to lay around and do as little as possible all day.
