[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A or C would be my preference — I want a flexible job and lots of time with my kids; whether my partner wants that or tons of money is up to them.[/quote]

This. I want to maximize time with my kids. I think my real preference is B when the kids are small and then shifting to A as they get older (where I go to work in a flexible job and he downshifts into a job with lower pay but more flexibility). Though I think probably B to C is more common and I’d be good with that too as long as his demanding job wasn’t creating a ton of stress.

I value family time and a calm, happy family life over money every day of the week. You need a baseline amount of money to avoid major financial stress, but I think my baseline is way below where most people on DCUM would put it because I just don’t care that much about certain things (big fancy house, nice vacations, investment in clothes/hair/beauty, nice cars, expensive activities for kids, etc.). None of that matters to me that much if I get lots of quality time with DH and kids each day.[/quote]
