notgran what a bizarre attitude you have to the business of running a family in all its aspects.
The reason most men make the biggest contribution to the family is because their spouse, usually wives take all the household and domestic administration of their backs, enabling them to devote more time to earning money.
DH did as well as he did because he employed such an efficient and competent CEO, who ran every aspect of the family business. I held the posts of Financial Director, HR Director, Properties Manager, Legal Advisor, to name but a few. It would have cost him a small fortune to pay someone to do everything I did.
On the side I also had a management job in industry that enabled me to make a major financial contribution to the family business as well.
Fortunately DH is a man of intelligence (obviously!) and could see that we were a team and that the prosperity of the family depended on our different contributions to our family and sharing both the gains and the losses.
