[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really don’t understand why all of you people think I have or grew up with money. There’s no trust fund. I paid for my own way in college, was raised by a single mom. That couldn’t be farther from my reality. Is it because I said I’m taking care of our household responsibilities. Well I do. I cook, clean (no maid because we can’t afford one), make and take our kids to all their appointments, find camp etc.. Those are domestic responsibilities which I do. So let my husband coast so he can come home with a clear mind and dinner on the table? Don’t we all wish life was that easy. [/quote]

Op—- do you receive a 1099 or W2 at the end of the year for your work?  What number is in box 1?

There is nothing wrong with being a SAHP as long as the working spouse is on board with it.  It sounds like you DH has been the primary earner for a while.  Why not reverse roles for a bit?[/quote]

Read the thread.   Op works and brings home more than her dh.   There is no SAHP.   What is wrong with you people?

Op, I’m sorry you’re dealing with this.  I suspect you’re right, the lower salary may very well not come with less stress, and then where will you be?  It sounds like you’ve got daycare to pay for which is expensive.   Perhaps you guys can talk about him sucking up this job for however much longer you need to pay for that, and when that is over, you can see about him making a change.   And maybe putting pause on this for now will allow either another opportunity to show itself, or spur him into something to help him manage his stress better.   Would he try meditation or something like that?[/quote]
