[quote=Anonymous]OP Here.  We feel strongly about a parent being at home.   In our situation, it only makes good financial sense for it to be me, and frankly both my husband and I know that he's not really cut out for it.   We have some issues in our family that further prompted this decision.  For now, we are dealing with some learning disabilities with our children, we both have aging parents that need attention, which will likely grow in need, and we both come from backgrounds with addiction issues.   Not a failsafe,  by any means, but for us we felt one parent really being around, knowing the kids friends, families, being involved at school, making sure they were active, etc. was an important part of helping our kids stay off of the path so many in our families have traveled.

Anyway, I talked to him tonight and I think we are in a better place.   I think a lot of it is summer, he certainly doesn't envy the craziness we are in during the school year.  But when we go to the pool, play tennis, grab lunch with friends, etc. I think he feels a bit left out.   I get it.

Thanks everyone for your insights.  [/quote]
