[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is OP trolling or is DH lying about his uncle and hiding it?

Regaedless, SAHM is definitely better than a dead end job. You can create a lot of value at home versus bringing home a little extra cash that you don't need.

It's a forgiving role, and improves the overall economy by creating a job for someone else to take, and it's good for your kids, and you can grow to get better at it and you get into part time / gig / educational  / hobby / entrepreneur opportunities  for future. [/quote]

Program Director at a Defense Contractor is not a dead end job.  She could pivot and work at a smaller contractor (or even better get a job at an FFRDC that is doing okay like Aerospace).

The high school and college stories are silly, it just typical teen stuff -- though I am surprised losing our campus job of scanning people in at the rec center (such an easy job for really good pay) was not more traumatic because your parents had to cover the additional tuition/room&board right?  I had an on-campus work study job and it was part of my aid package, and if I had been fired it could mean I have to drop out.

Seven years at a contractor is a solid tenure, and honestly there is a lot of industry change going on with the new administration.

But I suspect with twins and a DH who *REALLY* wants a SAHM like all the other cool law partners, you have been solo parenting in parallel to working.[/quote]

And $325k is hardly indicative of a dead end job.  I would love to make that much.[/quote]

Kinda sus about that number.  I do wonder if the ratio of hers to his is truly as close as this implied...[/quote]
