[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I guess I'm just worried about being dependent on my DH even though in reality I am now given his income vastly exceeds mine.  I work in refugee resettlement and this work environment right now is, well, sad and exhausting.  DH ideally doesn't want me to stay home until [b]IF[/b] he makes partner for more security, which won't be for a few year if it does happen. [/quote]

He is smart. The chance he makes partner is low. That said....he needs to do more at home if he wants you to keep working. Try to make sure he takes on baby duties and it doesnt all fall on you.[/quote]

If he is concerned about security, live modestly and save.  That $35K is not making much of a difference and child care will cost you more than that.  He sounds really selfish.  Life is so much easier with me staying home.  He's glad I can take care of things for him and our family, etc.  My husband doesn't make nearly what big law does and we comfortably save.[/quote]
