[quote=Anonymous]I don't really see how going back to work is going to be helpful.  If OP isn't contributing to the family income (and the reality is that she almost certainly can't contribute in any meaningful way), then her husband is just going to see her work as an annoying and time consuming hobby.  He will be pissed when he has a vacation, and she can't get off at the same time.  She will still be 100% responsible for the kids and household, so unless she wants her kids to grow up with two absent parents, she is likely to get a job that has some flexibility and reasonable hours and is more supporting other people's careers than developing her own (I work in academic medicine, so maybe this is different in other fields, but I doubt it).  
So, she will be working for no money, for reasons not respected or really understood by her family, in order to support someone else's career.  And she can add finding and managing full time childcare and household help to her duties in addition to her work.

I do agree with finding hobbies and meaningful volunteer work.  I am sure that you have skills that are useful to a lot of people.  [/quote]
