[quote=Anonymous]I really don't think you can ask your DH to do this. It's not just that his ego and pride are invested in his job and his job/workplace doesn't have a "daddy track option" and he doesn't want to do it anyway even if they did: you guys made a bargain (he'd make the money, you'd be the "mommy") and he's essentially asking you to stick to that bargain until DC#2 is in second grade. You don't like your bargain anymore--your friends moved away, you've run your marathons, etc.--but you probably liked it for most of those 10 years and he doesn't understand why you cherry-picked the best part of the bargain and now want to reneg. He may also wonder why you'd break the bargain for such a sh*tty job. I'd stick to the bargain, which got you a lot of great stuff, but explain to him that it's going to sunset when DC#2 is in 2nd grade. So what to do in the meanwhile? Why not pursue part time work that allows you to fulfill the bargain you made? Or a graduate degree? [/quote]
