[quote=Anonymous]Do not quit OP.  Being able to throw money at the problem is much better than still having the problem and not having the money and not having the problem. I make 400K. DH makes 80K. We have one kid with ADHD and one with ADHD and autism. It has been a long, difficult road. DH tried to be helpful, he really did, but he just couldn't be successful with dealing with the schools, the therapies, the pushback.  I wanted to quit so many times, most of the time I felt that I was a horrible parent and a horrible employee. I am very good at what I do, so my employer was fine with me mommy -tracking and working mostly from home, I still got raises and promotions, but it was very tough for the first dozen or so years. There were times when I wanted nothing more than to just drive my car into a tree because it was all too much.  But we settled into a routine, we learned to manage, the kids are thriving (more or less, we do have setbacks, but we have found routines that work for us. Things are much better now that the kids are teenagers. Hang in there. [/quote]
