[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, My husband is the same way, only I SAH.  He was this way before kids, too, not that he didn't want to be involved in division of labor, only that he thinks if there is something neither of us wants to do, we should outsource it if we can afford to.  He works long hours and is happy to outsource everything else.  He is happy for me to be at home or work, but I take care of all the management of the household and child care whether I work or not.   It's what I want to do, though, so my husband and I are a good match in that regard.

In your case, if I made $200K, I would keep working and spend the extra money on outsourcing everything else so that you can maximize time with kids.  Hire a housekeeper that comes for a few hours daily to clean the dishes, prep dinner, make kids' lunches, do laundry, clean house, run errands... so you can just come home and focus on the kids.[/quote]
You can't "maximize" time with the kids when you're gone most of the time.

Ever read, "The Myth of Quality Time"?[/quote]

Huh?  You can't increase the amount of time with your kids if you work outside the home? [/quote]
