[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe! I'm not thinking of SAH but I am definitely debating on going to 80% and asking for a day or two to work remotely. It's been nice to be at home more, my husband and kids are happier as well. But overall I don't really want to step all the way out of my career (not sure it would ever really recover if I stepped out at my current level) nor do I want to rely on my husband to be the provider. [/quote] Why? Is he unreliable?[/quote] He is reliable. It's my own risk-averse set of worries. There was a period of extreme poverty in my childhood and I won't take even the slightest risk of this happening to my kids if I can help it. Right now if one of us gets laid off, we'll tighten our belts a little but mostly our lives won't change much - this would be the case even if I took a pay cut to go 80%. But if I SAH and he loses his job... we have savings but I just don't even want to risk it.[/quote]
