You should both roughly spend the same time 'working' each day, whether that may be an actual job, chores or child care. This also includes breaks, procrastination, travel time and other things that happen both at home or at work.

To make it completely fair, the stay at home parent should be rewarded the same way. Meaning, they have equal control over the money the other one makes.

Yeah that's pretty on par with what I see in our suburban world. Growing up poor makes hoarding and treat yoself spending hard for some and easy for others too.
