[quote=Anonymous]Not sure if this belongs in jobs or money.  Current HHI is around $725,000 with no bonus.  Last year HHI with bonus was $875,000.  But there is a huge discrepancy in salaries. DH makes $575,000 (plus bonus) and DW makes $150,000. Have 3 kids.  DW has a very stable, not overly demanding WFH job and manages everything for the kids, house, pets, etc.  DH has a very demanding, exhausting, time consuming job that requires travel and being ON all the time.

Would you rather have the scenario above OR a scenario with DH takes a pay cut and has a less demanding job and DW finds a higher paying more demanding job?  So scenario A you have one super stressed out parent and one parent who can take on the lion share of responsibilities for the kids and still provide some of the household income.  OR scenario B where you have two parents who both work somewhat stressful higher paying jobs but DH would hopefully be a little less stressed and working more BUT DW would be working more and more stressed than current job.

Which would you chose? [/quote]
