[quote=Anonymous]My husband has fairly severe ADD, something that wasn't really apparent until after the birth of our second child. He functions very well with a limited set of regular tasks. He's a doctor, and earns a decent (though not extraordinary) salary. As time goes on, it is becoming more and more apparent that our lives will literally become one huge shit show if I go back to work full time because he will not be able to take on any of the management tasks.

I work part time now (our kids are just reaching school age). My plan was to ramp back up to full time in about 2 years. He is asking that I reconsider, because he does not want to have to do any more domestic work than he is already doing, and does not want to have to take on any of the family scheduling besides his own.

I am bored to tears by my mommy track job. I want to go back to work full time both for professional satisfaction and to be less dependent. But, as I said before, I am coming to understand that the impact on our quality of life might be pretty awful.

I am considering suggesting that I quit my job altogether (or pull back even more) and become a SAHM, which is what he really wants me to do. I am only willing to do that with a post-nup, though, that acknowledges that this was a mutual decision for the good of the family, and provides me with a secure financial future in the case of a divorce 5+ years down the road, when my ability to be gainfully employed will have eroded significantly.

If he's not willing to do it, then I will continue with my original plan, we'll outsource what we can, and he will have to adjust.[/quote]
