[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm shocked that so many are telling OP to suck it up. She has One Thing, and there are no impediments to her continuing her One Thing. Why should she change it? I don't see the logic. [/quote]
That One Thing doesn’t help with any bills. It’s not essential for the family to run smoothly. It’s just a hobby and can be changed around.

She is hosting the event in a house that is being paid for by her husband’s work that Friday. There’s no way her event is more important.

If she wants, she can take on the role of the breadwinner, drive to the office on Fridays while her husband has his friends over for a party. How would she feel about that?[/quote]

It sounds to me like she would want that.  She gets to move where she wants, take a job that makes her happy, be a present parent around her schedule and not the kids needs, and he has to find a job with flexible hours or working nights so that he can take care of her and the house and all of the mundane things with the kids.

Who wouldn’t want that?
