I have a few minutes before I have to be a work so I thought I'd joy down a few thoughts.
Sarah and I are thinking about going to a single car family, potentially permanently. Sarah plans to pursue her photography business but wants it to remain small and will otherwise be a "homemaker". It's interesting... Gender roles in a same sex relationship..it seems that naturally, I want to work full time and have a successful career while Sarah naturally wants to take care of the house and me (she definitely does not want to work full time).
Our latest conversation was regarding her role in "taking care of me"... What does that mean? If we only had one car, it would require more of her. I would like her to wake up with me and have breakfast with me before taking me to work. How she spends her day I don't really care, but it's important to me for us to be on the same schedule. It's already an issue for me now because I wake up early and Sarah sleeps in everyday, so when I'm ready to go to bed, she is wide awake and bummed I don't want to stay up and chat. So she lays on the bed playing on her iPad and it makes it hard to go to sleep. She loves sleeping in, but I know she could get used to waking up earlier and thus be tired when I'm tired. Anyway... It's a big conflict for me because half of me is this feminist and the other half wants a traditional relationship...like old school. Uck.
