It appears by your message your daughters have their lives planned as they would want it to be and this is beneficial for them and their families....

What stands out here of course if your omission of the partners and their wishes.... which I think is
the core of the topic....what masculinity has become in our society....

Marriage to me has always been a team both adults arriving at decisions in which they have to sacrifice as little as possible regarding their own abilities and desires....

Do you assume the husbands are fulfilled, or are making that assumption through the fulfillment of your daughter's ability to have their own needs met.

Yeah, I didn't go into detail, as I don't like to drag on and on,but none ofthose partnerships would
have succeeded without a "two way" partnership, so be assured there was harmoney in all of those
decisions, although in the case of my 4th daughter, she would not have done it any other way, so
it's a good thing that it was a "happy" decision for both of them, as she was, (as I was) a mother
who would not go to work and leave her childen with "anybody".
