I wont do 50/50

My biggest cultural shock was the 50/50 mentality! Seeing a lot of North American mothers working and having kids at the same time it’s such a difficult thing to see. I was raised to be like : even if I work because I have the kids the man should support the hardest economic challenges… what are your opinions?

Woman have more things to lose when they get pregnant and start a family when it comes to their work life, many companies won’t hire woman because of this and sometimes make them sign a paper so they don’t get pregnant, for example when I got my permanent residency I signed a paper that said I was not allow to get pregnant the first 5 years in the states! 🥲 so why would a woman want the responsibilities of household chores, kids, and a job that won’t pay her properly….. I have more to say to this but I don’t people will go as far as to read it…#letschat

... Read moreThe concept of the 50/50 split in relationships often generates mixed feelings, especially among women trying to balance career aspirations while managing familial responsibilities. The journey of motherhood can present unique challenges that may not be as evident in a traditional work environment. With many employers hesitant to hire women of childbearing age due to potential pregnancy risks, it raises questions about equality in the workplace. It is worth reflecting on how societal attitudes shape expectations and the responsibilities assigned to women, particularly in North America. In recent discussions, many mothers report feeling overwhelmed by the push for equal partnership in domestic duties while also facing career obstacles, including pay disparities and hiring biases. Factors such as maternity leave policies or cultural perceptions about parenting can make the 50/50 approach seem impractical. Advocacy for better workplace policies and more equitable family structures is becoming increasingly essential. Additionally, social media platforms are rich with dialogues about the inequities faced by working mothers, leading to calls for change in cultural narratives that surround family dynamics. Individuals are encouraged to share their stories, creating a supportive network where solutions and resources can be exchanged. Ultimately, promoting discussions surrounding the realities of juggling motherhood and work can foster more understanding and pave the way for better solutions in addressing gender equality.

Getting married has taught me that you add approx 20hrs of household chores per week. Building grocery plan, budgeting, cleaning, cooking, detailing every couple weeks, walking and playing w dogs. And we don’t even have kids. Please let this be part of the things you discuss w your partner ♥️

I imagine most people here are familiar with this budgeting model, but if not it says: 50% of your income should go to needs 30% of your income should go to wants 20% of your income should go to savings. It probably varies slightly depending on who you ask, but that's the bulk of it. D
