[quote=Anonymous]I SAH. My DH has a high paying, but very demanding career; late nights, many entire weekends gone working, sometimes getting called back into work in the middle of the night or with no notice. Me being home allows me to be always available when he isn’t, take care of everything child and home related. I did love my former career, but it is location specific and we don’t live in a location where I could continue the same career. While I could still go back work in a similar field, I wouldn’t enjoy it. Plus I would need a full time nanny to help, otherwise I’d be working 24/7. Since we don’t need any extra income, it makes no sense for me to work a job I don’t love, pay someone to pick up the slack at home and help with childcare, and overall cause more family stress. If I could go back to the career I loved, I would absolutely go back part time and hire out whatever help I needed to make that happen. But I can’t, so I won’t. [/quote]
