[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here - thank you all for confirming that it would indeed be crazy for me to leave the work force! I know I should try another job before just giving it all up to SAH, and I’m sure that’s what I’ll do. It’s just been a tough few months!

As for all the questions about why DH doesn’t stay home instead, we haven’t seriously discussed it. DH enjoys his job, while I am ambivalent about mine. It’s also unlikely that my income will remain as high as it is now for long. I’m a senior associate in big law, and I’m not gunning to make partner. As a result, it’s unlikely that the disparity in our incomes will be as large as it is now for much longer.

It sounds like it’s probably just time for me to look for a government job with more regular hours and less stress.[/quote]

A government job may not be less stress...it depends on the role. Also, it is so much less money. You should hang in there for at least 5 years, save as much as you can and then consider a different job later after a bunch of savings is in the bank.[/quote]
