Why though?  Seriously.  This is OP, and no need to be defensive.  I have no idea why I feel this way and others don't, and am curious.  Not exactly something I can ask in real life.[/quote]

Clearly, this is an issue for you, since you have significant wealth but both work full time and put your kids in preschool all day anyway. Were you raised to be embarrassed about having money? Did your parents tell you things like "always be humble" and "always know the value of a day's work?"

Now you're seeing why that position is sort of ludicrous. No matter how many hours you put in, you ALWAYS have the option to just quit. If your husband left or got hit by a bus tomorrow, you'd be fine. If you decided to devote yourself to charitable works, you'd be fine. If you got fired, and then your husband got fired ... you'd be fine.

No amount of work is going to assuage your guilt, because your guilt is about not HAVING to work like the rest of us poor shlubs.[/quote]
