[quote=Anonymous]OP sounds like a martyr.

You didn't 'need' to step off your job track so your DH could focus on his. You wanted to; you and he may have decided together it would make your overall lives easier. You benefited from you staying home, because you just didn't have to work as much, be as busy, and hustle as much as if you had stayed working.  Men and women work full time all the time with kids. Staying home and working PT is an unnecessary luxury.

Second, your DH can handle 50% schedule. You are not the only person on planet earth who can meet your teenage children's needs. Given your 20 year marriage, why would any of your children need a nanny?? Even if they did, why is this a reason for your DH to not get 50/50? Nannies and childcare are fine; tons of people augment raising their kids with outsourcing.

Move past thinking of yourself as the martyr, the only good parent, the one who deserves money and children.

Accept 50/50 and save yourself $100k. And move on. [/quote]
