[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Highly educated, high earning woman here, who is married to a similarly high earning man.  In my ideal situation, we'd have $50m in the bank and we'd BOTH quit and hang out without responsibility.  Maybe some volunteering here and there.  Nothing too major. Donate lots of cash.  My next ideal situation is our current situation (high earning, low hours).  My least ideal is not working, while DH goes off to work every day.  It's boring, creates an imbalance in the marriage (emotionally and financially), and unfulfilling for me.  [/quote]

Why would you be bored? Do you really think you couldn't find something worthwhile to do with your time, or do you only value earning money?[/quote]

What do you suggest I do while I have children in school and I’m living in the DC area?  I don’t workout and I dislike homemaking.  I can’t travel extensively because I have children.  Outside of taking up golf, I can’t figure out what I would do.  One can only read so many books.  [/quote]

Learn to handle your kids and you can travel. I know plenty of WOH and SAH moms who do that. People who won’t travel with kids (but have money) are typically just not adept enough to handle their children under stressful situations. As for extensive travel, we’ve met plenty of families who’ve taken children out of school for a semester or more, and who were homeschooling on the road. [/quote]

It’s jot about handling my kids.  It’s the fact they are in SCHOOL.  Are you suggesting I homeschool my kids and travel nonstop?  because even a long trip and homeschooling is just ONE trip.  Also, my husband can’t be out of work for extended periods of time.  Besides the fact I like where I live and don’t want to have to leave so I’m not bored.

I don’t think anyone but you cares what you do with your time.  Apparently you have a lot of free time on your hands because you post incessantly about yourself.  [/quote]

Maybe she needs to work out. Might dial her down a bit...[/quote]
