142. Okay
I'll offer the counterpoint. Your post basically insinuated that a woman who stays at home with the kids isn't contributing to the household in any way financially. That the man should be able to recoup some of those losses from having to be the sole bread winner. The economic benefits to the man of having someone stay at home free of charge and take care of the kids are enormous. No divorce settlement can ever come close to repaying that. I was deeply offended by that highly sexist notion, so I responded sarcastically. So I guess I wasn't clear.
