[quote=Anonymous]Absolutely not. Our household runs optimally for everyone when DH and I work a maximum of 60 hours combined. Right now that is 40 hrs for DH and 20 hrs for me, both with minimal travel. My advice is to keep looking for something part time / project or contract based / worst case, 40 hrs with no travel. To me, given your family's net worth and DH's income, the incremental value of the extra $$$ you'd earn in that full- job vs a part time job is not worth it at this stage. After taxes and nanny costs, it's surprisingly little. On the other hand, the marginal value of those 20-50 hours of your time is huge. In our house, that's the difference between a calm and happy home environment and a stressed, rushed, ball-dropping home environment. GL[/quote]
