To Moose:
Why in the hell would you let this PsyGuy person - or any person - call your husband dead weight?
If he will be accompanying you overseas you will soon find out that he - like most, but not all - non-teaching spouses will hellp in many ways that you cannot foresee right now.
Your husband will support you, why not support him now and call this rude and ignorant person on his insult?
Cambridge fair with trailing spouse
Hey, senator. Thanks for your outrage on my behalf. (Or my husband's!)
I personally place a high value on my husband's worth; he's been a stay at home dad while our kids were Pre-school-age, and I fully understand how valuable it will be to me for him to be with me. As I mentioned, I think he's a huge asset to me. However, I understand that PsyGuy's comment was in reference to how a school might assess his worth to them...I didn't take offense because I tried to take the advice in the spirit it was given, and I have WAY thicker skin than that.
