[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you have almost paid off your house but still have student loan debt???  Weird. You need a FA.

Also, if you return to full time work, PT medical role would work perfectly. Not sure if you PT at a hospital, so they give you medical insurance?

OP here - the mortgage loan interest rate was higher than the student loan interest rate, so we decided to try to pay that off first.

I hadn't thought of the medical insurance issue - ideally DH would still get medical insurance even if he works PT, but I'm not sure if he will be able to.

And ideally, I would rather work less than full-time when I return to work, but that might be just a pipe dream.  [b]DH is handicapped when it comes to household and practical stuff (cleaning, laundry, organization, budgeting) .  And if he were to handle childcare - pretty much everything would be eliminated like activities, sports, snacks, crafts, playdates, toys, school events.[/b] He is a good dad, but he has extreme prioritizing where there are only a couple things that are important and everything else is completely unimportant.  So for the sake of keeping an organized house and for the sake of the kids, I'd like to handle most of the house and kid stuff.[/quote]

So he wants to work part-time and then do his own thing with the extra time?  With little kids in the house, student debt, and college tuitions to pay down the line?

You are a way more patient wife than I would be, in this scenario.[/quote]

This. Seriously. If he wanted to be a man child and bum around and garden then he should not have incited debt, married and had children to take care of. And you enabled him. It's like teens who mow the lawn badly so they won't get asked again. [/quote]

He has his areas of competence - he's handy at fixing things, he's great with playing with the children, he's great at gardening, and he's great at his job.  We all have areas that we are better at than others, but it is just more extreme with him - I would consider him disabled in other areas.[/quote]
