[quote=Anonymous]Hi I am sorry about this - it sounds like burnout-  if your boss is German/swiss they have a huge vacation culture there.

I would start by planning a 7 day (or 10 day -combine two weekends) vacation with your wife and kids.  Go somewhere not expensive - maybe a national park - be outdoors - do a "reset" - and do it soon.

You are too deep in this and burnt out to think clearly.  I am a working mom - and had a stay at home mom. It is really, really hard after losing work skills to go back, and your wife may not even find something that pays well enough to make up for the babysitter/nanny costs.

Honestly? I would lean into your career - take the break - reset/pause - and if you can take a sabattical, do it.

Then, think about what you want.  What transferable skills do you have that you could deploy elsewhere. I make $600k and my husbnad makes $400k, and I would find it very very hard to live on 1 salary of $180k alone.  Leverage the shit out of your skills, you have more of an upside right now than your wife - she should support you in going "all in" on yuor career and trying to double it in the next few years.  What options do you hvae for growth potential? Can you talk with a career coach???

good luck, I don't think your wife going back to work is going to yield much ROI, and I bet she will feel resentful.

Caveat:  if there is a private schoool where she could teach, where your kids could get a discount on tuition, that could make it worth it????

Good luck!!!! Think big. But first, clear your head.  Get out of the mental rut. Take a vaca.[/quote]
