[quote=Anonymous]Support her.  Encourage her.  We have the same HHI and are doing just fine.  My husband encouraged me to quit and I was the one worried.  He puts money into my IRA every year, maxed out his and took extra life insurance knowing my earning potential just took a nose dive.  Yes, there is a lot of poop, pee, diaper changes, etc. involved, but there is the fun of kids activities, lunches (family and friends), meeting my husband for lunch, etc.  Either way you have the daily grind.  What is nice is now that I am home, I have taken 100% of the major stuff over so when my husband comes home he gets to relax and enjoy the kids.  I pay the bills, do the appointments, clean the house, usually cook (sometimes not if we are too busy - those lunches wear you out :) ), etc.  It is nice to have that balance and not feel rushed to have that quality time with the kids rather than worrying about cooking, cleaning and homework after we both are tired and finally home from work.  I have no regrets and wish I listened to my husband in the first place (he would have supported me working too, but only in a job I enjoyed and was happy in).[/quote]
