[quote=Anonymous]First, OP, it's important to find out whether you're doing this for yourself or your DH wants you to. That will determine how much struggle you're willing to put up with, and how much you can put on him. Second, have a serious talk with him about how it will work logistically. If he's having the fantasy of you walking into a well-paid, low-hours, super-flexible job, then you need to disabuse him of that idea. Third, start socializing him to the realistic experience that he will have as the DH in a two-career family. Whenever a kid is sick, has an appointment, you need a tradesperson to the house, whatever, ask your DH if he can handle it. Anything he wants for the kids to do, you ask him if he'll be doing some of the driving. Make it a constant thing that he has to think about, because if you get a job it will be a constant thing for him.[/quote]
