[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I make 95k working part time and he makes 105k working full time. I could work full time but it would be hard to make more than what I do now, in a full time position. It's also not that easy for me to add to my client roster (it's complicated). Anyway, I get that he is contributing to our future retirement but my resentment stems that a slight difference for just a couple more years - 2 max - is coming at the cost of my mental health. I hold my breath trying to get all my work done in 2-3 hrs and I'm over it. Plus sometimes uber-cheap playgroup is canceled without warning which makes it impossible for me to work at all. I'm tired of this arrangement but our only way out is to pay significantly more (and not even that much - $1200/mo total) for part time daycare. [/quote]

This is thoroughly absurd and I’d put your foot down.

Him: earns 105. Zero child care during week.
You: earns 95. 30+? Hours of child care during week.

Wouldn’t fly with me. You are only asking for 15k/yr PT childcare expense on a HHI of 200K. That is LOW.

How much is he sending his parents???[/quote]

If she is doing childcare 30 hours a week, and he's not doing childcare at all, is the kid at playgroup 138 hours a week?  Who is with the kid on the weekends and in the evenings?
