[quote=Anonymous]This was our dynamic, it was really frustrating. I was a Hill staffer and DH made many multiples of my salary in private industry in a job with a lot of travel. (It was the routine travel that made compromise over parenting duties so hard.) For a couple of years I hired more help. We had an au pair even though the kids were in school, weekly house cleaners, grocery deliveries, someone to cook for me etc. I never counted that help against just my salary. If you do quit, or scale back, I'd make sure that your DH acknowledges the dynamics that led to the decision. When I stepped back, it was with the clear understanding that DH would continue to hold the same job for the foreseeable future and I would not need to find work, unless it was on my own terms, in the future.
