[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So this is my husband. He took a buyout while we were in the process of moving. We realized while he wasn’t working, my career soared. He was able to manage our move and subsequent renovation projects perfectly and i got a huge promotion. We don’t need him to work to get by financially and I like that he handles all the pickups and dropoffs. That said, I always figured he’d eventually get another job or some consulting work for mental health/self-actualizarion purposes. But it’s been more than two years now and I see no signs that he’s interested.[/quote]

I have two friends in the same boat, high flying wife and the husband “retired” after 20 years of work to be SAHD, parent the kids, run the household, hang out with dads and sports stuff, etc. Works great.

Then I have a close friend whose absent minded father was always muddling along, they penny pinched, never took vacation, and he took a layoff package at age 50 (or so they say), never to work again. But he did nothing at home and continues in his 70s to do nothing, have no friends, just read online news or tag along w the mom. The 40 yo brother is single and lives at home too.

My friend says moving to college and seeing other ways of living was eye opening to her. [/quote]
