Are you confused about what 'was' means? I'm not on this woman's side but why do you have to sound so damned stupid?

I've known quite a number of folks who have done what OP's husband is proposing. You get a night degree in either a related field or an additional degree in an advanced area of your field and then transition to a tangential position. For example, I've known a lot of people who have gotten various IT degrees and then moved into IT around their field making more money. Like several nurses when I worked at a major hospital who got IT degrees and then went into programming or project management in the IT department supporting the hospital where their nursing background enabled them to design applications and program applications that matched the needs of the hospital staff. Or accountants who got an MBA and transitioned into business management. One guy in one of the companies I used to work for was an accountant, got an MBA and transitioned first into payroll management and ultimately into a medium size company CFO. And on and on. It's still possible in his 50's. If he works hard, he can get an appropriate degree in 2-4 years. Even if he only moves into a low-level management position, he can probably still increase his earning potential especially if he's ambitious and talented enough to move to a mid-level management position in another 5 years or so. There have been thousands of people who have done something similar to this and it's quite feasible.

As for missing out on his kid's last 1.5 years of HS, frankly, how much interaction do you all have on a nightly basis. I've rarely heard of someone taking night school classes for more than 3 nights a week. Do you really interact daily with your teenager that 1-3 nights a week for school is going to significant alter your relationship with your teen?

I am always surprised by the amount of bitter and angry men who resent their wives for staying home to RAISE THEIR CHILDREN. Thats right- not drink mojitos by the pool, but doing the arduous and very demanding task of guiding children, cleaning throw up out of their hair, not interacting with a single adult all day while they slowly feel like they are losing their minds due to the constant sound of crying. And yet you losers like to act like she spent the whole time on her ass doing nothing.

GROW THE FUCK UP.

Oh, please. You had choices. You picked this one. You grow the fuck up.

hello, mcfly. kid is high school, what does OP do all day?

and listen, except for when dealing with more than 2 kids under elementary age, SAH is crazy easy. OP has had a meal ticket for at least fifteen years (oh yeah she contributes 10% of their income, how striving).

note in this scenerio, the kids HAVE taken your advice and grown up. OP should follow suit and maybe get a real job and let DH stay home.

I love this pp. throw up out of hair? guess what working parents get to that to and have to work to pay the mortgage.

if you are isolayed and kids crying all day for more than the first few months of your first child, something is very very wrong. but looking at the example of your judgmental attitude, we have a pretty good idea what that is.

You're the one who sounds bitter here. And it's not the OP's husband who started a thread complaining about an unsupportive spouse.

Just because a SAHM stayed home and cleaned up some poopy diapers doesn't mean she gets to call all the shots in her spouse's life until the end of eternity.
