Am I allowed to tell him that if he does this, he needs to drastically cut his spending? Am I allowed to voice concerns re: money? I have to stand by and let him try this right? The worst thing would be if I said no and then he has to watch their company take off.

I'm thinking about going back to work but there are some problems with that. 1. for various reasons that I can't go into on here, I can't go back to my old field (burned my bridges big time). Fwiw, it was my husband's idea that I SAHM and he's always said he doesn't think I should go back to work back when it would have been easier to do so. 2. I don't think I'm qualified to do anything else except the most basic office work. I haven't worked in 8 years. Maybe I could get a waitressing job at  night or something for the spending money? 3.) our youngest won't be in full time school for another 2 years.

ugh. I have such a bad feeling about this. What would you do? Just sit back and watch?[/quote]

I am actually curious about your mental fitness to handle the stress. What do you mean by you burned bridges in last career?

And working as a waitress or office admin won't cover the cost of childcare: Your DH is working at a startup; he isn't going to be home at night taking care of the kids. He will work eat and maybe sleep.  I mean how much does he get home now, the home is your thing and any job you take at this juncture should pay for childcare to be worthwhile. If you want a career that is a different negotiation but not too waitress. [/quote]
