[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If there's not a reason this is in the kids with special needs forum, I would ask Jeff to move it to relationships or off topic[/quote]

I’m OP. Guess I should have explained. I am concerned that my wife will discover that it is more stressful than she expected but not feel at liberty to say so. We have a son with autism who is awesome but can be challenging in many respects. [/quote]

I would encourage her to try another job first and be ok with slightly lower pay for less stress or a better commute. Being with a challenging child 24/7 is really hard, and it can be hard to get back into the workforce later. I was never a Sahm but had some weekends when I couldn't wait to go to work because no one would be having hours-long tantrums. Also, the economy is getting worse for white collar employees (assuming you are one) and I wouldn't feel comfortable with one income because of the possibility of job loss. But every one is different. [/quote]
