[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would interview for a different job - many in house positions offering full remote work. Then quit if it’s still unmanageable. I personally do not like not working. You can have another child too - many employers offer good working conditions to support families.

Other questions: do you have debt? Enough savings? Only you know your finances.

Thanks for your thoughts - we do have what I think are good savings at this point[b] ($4m between brokerage, 401ks and savings/checking accounts),[/b] only debt is mortgage $700k.

What did you not like about not working?[/quote]

[b]Sit down with DH and have some serious discussions about what you "not working" will look like. [/b] Will you be in charge of everything to do with house and kids?  Of everything while he's working, and 50/50 when he's not at work?  Of 75% of household stuff but he takes the kids one weekend day?  Is it going to be a problem if you want to hire out cleaning/yardwork/etc?  How often will you check in to see that this setup still works for everyone?  What if he starts to feel resentful about being the sole earner or burned out at his job?

Then quit.  You have plenty of money, and your health is important too (including mental health).  Just make sure you're taking care of your marriage too, because you're putting all of your eggs in this basket.[/quote]

This + financial planning discussion since his earnings are "volatile".[/quote]
