[quote=Anonymous]I have a SN child, and I had to stay home with her. DH was not able to handle all the responsibilities of a SN child. It's a full time job that requires everything you have in you to handle. Some people are not cut out for staying home with a SN child.

Sorry for all the awful remarks on this thread, OP. There are lots of trolls on DCUM.

I do agree that you need to sit down with your DH and figure out a compromise for him. $50K is nothing for the type of work he does. He needs to ask for more money, or pull his resume together, leaving off his music experience, and find a better job with benefits.

Can he stay home with your child? Can you move to an area with a lower COL? Can you move to an area where you have a relative who can help you with your SN child so you can go back to work?

Your DH should re-evaluate teaching. Why did he decide it wasn't for him? Maybe he could teach in a private school. There are lots of them around here, and the environment can be much better than a public school, especially in DC. The pay is not great, but there are benefits, and it likely pays better than $50K. He should also give private lessons evenings/weekends to augment your income.

If he really wants to play in an orchestra, he needs to focus on that. Move back home, build a nest egg, practice like crazy and get that dream job. I know several people who play in professional orchestras. The money is not great, but the satisfaction is. All of them teach on the side, and have spouses who work. [/quote]
