[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. You sound quite bratty. [/quote]

I agree...bratty and entitled....you are assuming that your husband wants to rely on your parent's death and your eventual inheritance as a type of financial comfort. Maybe your husband doesn't want the responsibility of being the sole breadwinner on his shoulders, maybe he doesn't want to lose the security that your salary brings for your OWN nuclear family regardless of your familial wealth. Maybe his upbringing was different from yours regarding savings, spending, and cash flow in. All valid reasons for you not to up and quit your job without him being comfortable with it. It IS possible to have two children and work. Hire a nanny, bring in an au pair, plenty of folks do it every day. [/quote]

We don’t even need our inheritances.  I was simply trying to point out that we have significant financial cushion.

How am I entitled but my husband isn’t?  [/quote]

Funny OP that the ONLY thing you address in this response is the inheritance. None of the other, truly more important partnership parts. [/quote]

I have already considered these stresses, which is why I didn’t comment.  Of course it’s obvious that being the sole breadwinner brings on stress.  I would hope that our net worth and eventual inheritance would help ease that stress.  I already have $2 million saved in retirement.  It’s not like we don’t have anything to fall back on.

Yes, you make a good point on his family upbringing.  His parents have a network of close to $10 million and it’s never enough.  They will work until they die.  They are very much into money and building wealth.  Whereas, I see it as a means to an end.  I am not looking to have my children raised by a nanny so I can pass on $10 million dollars.

Look,. I don’t want the stress of pregnancy and childbirth, but it is what it is.
