[quote=Anonymous]Managing a household with young kids is very difficult when parents are working a combined 100 hours a week unless they're in an outsource-everything income bracket, and you're not. I don't think your husband is totally off that this is solvable if you get a higher-paying or part-time job. But what about his job choices? Are there choices he could be making that are either higher-paying or fewer hours? That set of options - yours and his - is what I'd talk about. Maybe there is a compromise where you work this job for a set amount of time, and he steps up at home (or you spend some of your savings on more outsourcing) with the agreement that it's temporary. Or he starts job-searching in good faith to see what's out there. [/quote]
