[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you're making $35k, and he's making over $200k, then any adverse dynamic that might be caused by an earnings disparity would already be present. I don't see the point of paying people more to watch your kid than you're actually bringing home. That's when it becomes a hobby job. Cue all the outrage about "keep your foot in the door!" but that's baloney. You're presumably intelligent and educated. You can find another $35k job in five or seven years. They're not hard to come by. [/quote] I agree in general but to an extent. Not everyone can put off working again for 5-7 years. Maybe OP gets a lot out of being in an office environment. Maybe her personal sanity is at risk if she were to become a SAHM. Not all women can do it. I would keep a foot in the door, perhaps work part time, just to make sure OP can stay at home full time. If she can, then be a SAHM[/quote]
