[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I say this as someone who is a HUGE advocate for women working:  quit!!  Do it for me!! I HAVE to work a soul-sucking job, and I would quit in a minute if I were you.  You especially don't need that commute.

[b]You've earned your way into an incredibly fortunate position by investing in your family.[/b] You don't need to push yourself to do a job you don't like and take up your precious time commuting.

And more importantly - local communities NEED people like you. Instead of investing your time and energy in a job you hate, why not look around to get more deeply involved in volunteering right where you are?  If you do this, dollars to donuts you'll end up finding a way to professionalize the work as a consultant or employee (even if that isn't your goal). [/quote]

What? No she earned her way by snagging a rich breadwinner DH...

I agree she should quit but let’s be realistic of how she has this choice. And pitfalls that may come from that (DH job loss, divorce after empty nest, etc). It sounds like they are wealthy and not worried about divorce so probably she is fine to just be a housewife and that will make everyone happy. [/quote]
