[quote=Anonymous]OP,

My husband has no career ambition and has ADHD and Aspie tendencies.

As such, he is better off working in whatever job he can get, because he would be a disaster at home raising the kids and taking care of the housework. He's been out of work many, many times, and during these periods has not lifted a finger in the house or taken any initiative in caring for the kids that hasn't resulted in either screaming at them or indulging them. With him, they would eat crap and have no routines or specific times for meals or going to sleep.

I didn't choose to stay home for that reason, but this is why I will never go back to full-time work until the kids are responsible enough to take care of themselves. Period. It's more important to raise our kids right than to get a lot of money.

I suggest you scale back, either at your current job or at another one. Or that you discuss with your spouse whether he could work more and you stay home. You might find that you are not such a good household manager and parent as you think you are, or you might do wonders! It's only if you try that you will know. Your children deserve better from you: not "stuff", but actual parenting.
