[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Why doesn't anyone question the insanity of working so many hours? [/b][/quote]

Because life is HARD. The economy is BAD. Good jobs are not exactly plentiful. People do what they have to do to put food on the table. My father died when my mother was pregnant with my sister, which was her 3rd child.  She went from being a homemaker to working not ONE but TWO jobs.

It's life babe. Nobody said it would be easy.[/quote]

I've been saying this since we moved here after my husband finished law school, but I feel like I've been here so long its just "normal" now. OP, my husband makes the lion's share of the income and most of what we have/do (this specific house, the trips we take, the cars we drive, the classes for the kids) would be greatly different if we didn't have his income. I do a lot for the household, BUT I don't work full time like you do and I know it would really bug me if I did. Does your DH make a lot more than you? Is there some huge upside potential to his career? To what end is all of this sacrifice?[/quote]
