[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP you should’ve married my DH. All he cares about is work and making more money. We have barely spent time with him for nearly 10 years because of it.

Check your priorities. [/quote]

Yeah I was shocked when she said that they take one vacation a year, if any. Sounds like OP is so focused on her kids future when they are 18+ that's she's missing out on a lot of bonding and important stuff when they are young [/quote]

I would get the side eye big time at work if i tired to take 3 (a few) vacations a year. I would love to, believe me. 
DH enjoys his copious free time off though.

Because I miss my kids I spend every minute of every weekend with them. I realize I sound pretty frank in this thread but I am a very maternal mother and have a great relationship with my kids. They are my universe and the reason I do everything I do. I want a divorce but haven't done it yet because I don't want to mess them up.

Look, if i got a lower stress job or just stopped caring so much about getting promoted, sure, we would be ok. But I would sorely miss the feeling of making progress towards financial goals. I am a "long time horizon" person, that's just me. I was the kid who didn't eat the marshmallow. I worry about the future, and with good reason in my family many times!!! I always anticipate things that could go wrong and avoid them. I don't want to be foot loose and fancy free a few paychecks away from disaster, no thank you! [/quote]

If you make more than your DH, and he makes six figures, and you are anything ever like a few weeks away from disaster, you need to seriously revamp your spending habits.  Would it be so bad if you lived on 250k a year?  Seriously?  That is very, very UMC.[/quote]
