[quote=Anonymous]OP, our situation was similar a couple of years ago (I made near six figures in a gov't contracting job with a clearance and).  DH made more but not significantly (around $125).  My job was fine and I was good at it and my work was well-received in the office but it was NOT what I wanted to be doing with my life, rather something I fell into after graduation.

After I had my second child I went back to work - first I tried four ten hour days but it was hell Mon-Thurs.  I switched to PT (32 hours) after a couple of months and by the time he was six months old, we made the decision that I would stay home.  It was something that my husband supported very much so that was a huge help.

I won't lie and say it's not hard.  At this point, we aren't saving nearly as much as we'd like (if at all, some months).  We have hopes of moving out of the area (much like PP) for  a lower COL... at the least I may work PT once #2 goes to Kindergarten, but only if I can work within their school hours.  I was raised with my mom at home (as was DH) and that's just what we want for our family.  I don't judge anyone that makes other decisions for their family - in fact, I even have a little envy, because I do miss being able to buy whatever we wanted/needed whenever.  This works for us, though. [/quote]
