[quote=Anonymous]I’m an in-house lawyer here with a similar predicament, except I make more money than you and my husband makes less money than your husband.  We’re in our early 40s and have three kids and net worth is around $5MM.  I agree with the commenter that the elementary years are so much more fun than the baby years and you are going to want to be highly involved for the next 15 years at least, wanting flexibility to be available to your kids.  On the other hand, you worked hard for a degree and built a professional career, and I see so many moms in their late 40s who are trying to on-ramp after staying at home, and it’s so difficult for them.  Layer into that the lack of predictability with your husband’s career…..I think the most risk averse strategy is to try your best to find a long term, flexible, work from home as much as possible job, and possibly part time.

I think the clear compromise choice is to directly ask your employer if you can do part-time or work entirely remote. If both are denied, then quit and try to find something else part-time and remote when employers are trying hard to fill spots.  I know you said switching jobs is off the table, though.  Hopefully your employer will be willing to compromise.[/quote]
