[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What has the husband actually done wrong? Also, what “hobby job” has a sabbatical?

This is clearly a troll.[/quote]

I am not a troll. My husband is a professor. To me this is a hobby job because he could 3-10x his income in the private sector if he felt like it. But he doesn’t feel like it when I make everything possible at the expense of my health and ability to be a good parent.

I could have written this post, and relate so much to OP. I was a highly paid medical professional (think surgeon) and my husband works for the government, in a job he feels is "meaningful" but I regard as a hobby. I actually did quit my job when our DC was 5 to move our family overseas for his job. I'm told he is incredibly brilliant and successful, but all I care about is the $$. Now that I'm no longer supporting us, I told him he needs to feel the pressure (for the first time in his life) to be the breadwinner and support his family. He can only work so much overtime, but he promises me he'll retire at the earliest possible date (in five years) and make bank in the private sector. We'll see.

I have no regrets because I was horribly burnt out and I love spending unlimited time with our child. It's not selfish, OP, it's what's right for you. Best of luck![/quote]
