[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, find a more flexible job. You're approaching this issue too rigidly: it's not a big, demanding job or leave the workforce entirely.[/quote] +1 There's a whole universe of options between those two extremes. I tried staying home for 3 years and found that my anxiety about divorce or husband's death or disability was almost debilitating. I'd have horrible insomnia about what I would do if I was left as a single mom and it was affecting my relationship with my husband. I went back to work and now I lose sleep about other things but at least not about that! I don't have a big job -- never really wanted that anyway -- and it's pretty boring but I earn around $140K working 8am-4pm with 100% WFH so it's entirely manageable and doesn't cause too much stress.[/quote]
