[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You don't have two careers that you both value. You have one that he values and two that you value. You're on different pages. 
Is it really risking his job to do something occasionally that requires him calling out etc? Are there really any options for him to have a similar career with a different schedule (even with less $). Does he even want that?
Does he realize you do it want to be a SAHM at all? [/quote]

+1 I also agree with the gender issue.

I am making 240k , my spouse make 800k . I have potential to make up 500k+ he has potential to make 500++as well when we first mairried. But I step back becour child. Last year I have a job offer 300+ which I could not take due to my husbands work and visa issue location, job demand.  My current income now is also due to dh s job s geographical limited and job demand. I do not have a choice but to mummy track myself. Dh claim that we can ni5 live on anything lower than 500k++ .( I know this sounds extreme)

Anyway, regardless of who makes more, marriage is about being on the same page. Both career goal need to be valued from both husband and wife.
I do feel for you OP but I have no solution to offer.
