[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree that he is controlling you.  I would tell him that you are going to have to have to get a job because there is not enough money.  He is going to have to figure out childcare and all of the things that you do as a SAHM because you won't have time to do them since you will be working.

[b]The plan is, my spouse is going to quit his job next year and take a little time off to contemplate a career change, and get a new part time gig while figuring something out. I’m supportive. At that time I can start interviewing to re-enter the workforce, which will honestly be a bit tough for me with the large gap in employment and the fact that my field is pretty competitive with a lot of younger people in it who are willing to work for less. And I also have a lot of commitments- I’m serving terms on several boards and committees and run a non profit. So I’ll either have to quit all those or I’ll have to also do part time.[/b]

I’m kind of freaking out about how all the things will get done at that time and afraid that all the house and kid stuff will still fall on me since much of it has been 100 percent my responsibility since the beginning. And then I’ll be stuck doing way more than my share or just completely drowning. [/quote]

This sounds banana-balls.
So, we're just over here quitting jobs before we have another one, while the other parent doesn't work, but will "start interviewing" after he's already quit, but he might have a new part time gig while figuring something out?

Girl, this has better be satire.

My spouse’s job has zero flexibility meaning there is zero time to even look for another job.  So has to quit to look. Also just wants time off.

Like I said, my spouse has plenty of liquid assets and savings so we have enough to live on for 1-1.5years even if neither of us worked. [/quote]

Your dh is full of shit. I’m a big law partner with a special needs kid. My best friend is a doctor with three kids. We both have super time intensive jobs in different ways. We still get everything done (household and kids) and periodically even change jobs and buy houses and handle other massive obligations. You say your Dh doesn’t even help at all at home. He’s full of shit that he needs to quit to job hunt. [/quote]
