[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. He makes between $65k-$75k depending on overtime & possible bonus. I really think it's best for the kids if I am home. The kids are in school full day but there are holidays and summer break and such. [/quote]

You think it's best for the kids if you are "at home" all the way through high school? Seriously? I'm starting to think you are a troll, OP. Either that you are unbelievably naive and/or selfish.

Even if you and your husband agreed to the idea of having one parent at home with the kids, it makes far more sense for the person with the graduate degree who earned more money (you stated he only made 2/3rds of what you made) to be the one at home with the kids.

It sounds like you stayed at home because it's what you wanted. It sounds like you still want all decisions to be based around what YOU want. Guess what? I want a pony--doesn't mean I'm going to get one.
Get. A. Job.

Earlier PP gave a great summary of the concrete steps you need to be taking to prepare to reenter the work force and plan for child care.[/quote]
