[quote=Anonymous]I've done my fair of thinking about this as my mom died when she was 57, and my dad remarried fairly quickly.  (Older generation where husband made all the money and the wife took care of the household definitely played a factor in this, as my dad didn't even seem to know there was a lint tray in the dryer.)

Given that i am 7 days away from my scheduled c-section w/ DC#2, I think it would take more than 2 years for DH to get his equilibrium and even start dating.  We have an older nanny, who has become like a grandmother to our DD.  He would increase her hours.  Fortunately, I have enough life insurance, so he'd be able to pay off he remainder of our $1.3 M house and still have some savings to pay for the increase in childcare costs until they are both in kindergarten.  We also have about $1M in retirement and he has a decent salary (although I out earn him) so i think it would be attractive to many single women.  Plus at 39, DH is 6'3", is naturally thin/fit, and has all his hair.

Since we've been together (9 yrs), i've taught him to cook and he does more than his share of household chores.  Plus he's a wonderful dad.  So once he started looking he should have no trouble.  Plus since my oldest child is only 2.5 yrs old, it might be easier for a "new mom" to come in and replace me.

That said, I plan to live as long as I can b/c I want to be there for all the major milestones my mom missed w/ her kids.
