[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All throughout our dating years I said I don't have much career ambition and wasn't sure if I wanted to SAH or not. My spouse said he'd make it work regardless of my choice. I made more than him then and worried/discussed is it really feasible on his income alone. I told him daycare costs school costs diapers costs. He appeared confident. Now that we have a young toddler he says SAH is no longer an option, he says we need my income to save fir retirement and buy a house. I feel a bit resentful and think he was an idiot for being confident without really crunching numbers and I'm the bigger idiot thinking his salary would increase or that it would work out (when his job is not in a lucrative field). He has wealthy parents but of course he prefers notvto be indebted to them. He says he wants to be independent. But I have to work as an attorney or something else that makes more than 60k if I switch fields.  [/quote]

+1.  Is your DH a prophet?  Could he have predicted what he would earn?  Even in a lucrative field not everyone is going to be an executive.[/quote]
