[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]But will quitting do any good? You will have much less money and then be dbe dependent on a DH who is not very functional. How will you rest at home when you have a child who never gives you a moment's peace? You need to outsource more of your daughter's care to get any rest.[/quote] Op here. I guess my thinking is that if I quit, DD would still go to preschool, or potentially, we’d move somewhere even cheaper than where we live now and I’d be able to still have help. Then I could relax/exercise/complete household responsibilities while my kids are in school instead of working all day. And then my evenings would be more relaxed because I wouldn’t be scrambling to do laundry/dishes/trash after bedtime because I would have done them during the day when I’m normally working. Look, I know my plan is kind of half baked and illogical. But I feel like I’ve tried everything else and I’m still so miserable. DH is actually pretty solid career wise. He works about 15-20 hours/week, gets summers off, and makes a bit less than I do. He just won’t help at home, but he works in a highly technical and in demand field right now. He can do his work from anywhere.[/quote]
