[quote=Anonymous]Honestly I would not do anything before having a heart to heart with your husband about the fact you will not continue to do everything for the entire house if you start working again. The time you need to work can come from additional childcare but it’s not going to be all covered and so many people end up resentful of their spouse in that situation. The truth is many people’s jobs are a lot more flexible than they believe. It took me a while to understand that he would say he “couldn’t do” something that actually meant there was a chance it would make someone at works life less convenient or he would “look less committed” to his job. Meanwhile I was walking of meetings scheduled months ago with very important people because someone had get the sick kid who was throwing up at daycare. It’s slightly better now if I had realized I wasn’t going to have support from him I never would’ve agreed to go back to work.

My kids are old enough now and I have stayed in the same role I am overqualified for because everyone knows I will get my sh*t done regardless of what I have come up but I would not necessarily advise my daughter to do the same. It’s a hard but more than that it’s terrible for the marriage.[/quote]
