[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To those of you so happy that you have time to enjoy your life when your kids are in school, I think that's great and all, but do your husbands also have the same opportunities?  Or are they working like dogs so you can lie on the couch and watch the Today show?  I work a flexible schedule (I drop off and pick up my kids from school every day), and my husband has a job that gives him a great deal of flexibility also.  Because we both make good money, we can have someone clean and do laundry, which means neither of us has to do it.  We BOTH cook and take care of our kids, and we both get to spend time doing things we like on our own.  It's called a partnership.  I really would feel terrible if I was enjoying taking life easy while my husband was slogging away at work.  And he wouldn't go for it either.  And the other thing I wonder is:  are you all saving for college?  I for one could never imagine having my kids take out loans for college so I could stay home.  And I don't plan to retire poor either.[/quote]
My DH travels 6 months out of the year and while he constantly misses us, he loves his job. I am staying at home, which is my choice and what I want to do so that I have time to take care of everything and not be flustered, resentful and overwhelmed. He appreciates what I do and doesn't resent me getting my nails done while the 3 year old is at preschool. In fact, he believes I deserve it. I love him and am happy he's living his dream doing a job he loves. When his work schedule slows down in 2 years, I plan to go back to work and get a second master's degree. 
It works for us.[/quote]
