[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes but I also teach a class in my field at a community college twice a week and I'd keep that because I love teaching. Perhaps I'd add another section and work on a book.

I do like having an income and I think going to a job and having professional commitments is good for mental health and social connectivity. That's actually what I dislike most about working from home. I actually like a lot of my work well enough, but I feel so isolated and disconnected.[/quote]

Oh, that changes everything if you don't like WFH (I just posted above saying this was a good setup; I thought you were afraid to lose this benefit). You still have a career and can keep your resume fresh with the teaching, so if you don't need the money and don't mind taking an in-office job when the kids are launched, quitting isn't that big of a risk.

Working full time, raising kids, and teaching at night is a lot if you don't even need the money![/quote]

OP here. I was not the person to post about teaching a class but I do share the feeling of isolation from WFH. part of the reason I want to quit is to have the opportunity to get out and meet more people by doing things like tennis, golf, etc. [/quote]

Is your DH going to resent you quitting your job to play tennis with your new friends?  I feel like if I was stuck working a job and my husband said "I don't want to miss out on the last years the kids are in the house" and I said I'd shoulder the finances and then he used his newfound time off to take up golfing I would be pretty bothered.[/quote]

Not every DH out there wants his DW to have just as hard of a life as he does. There are plenty of DHs out there who take pleasure in their life being happy and not having to work. [/quote]
