[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Where do the kids fit in to this?  If he were as "driven" as you want him to be, neither one of you would be around for them. You can't both do 80 hr weeks and actively parent the children.  How old are they?

Are you a doctor? If so, I imagine much of your big salary will need to go to pay student loans. That should be a priority before gifts to family as well.  Maybe you guys could go through a Dave Ramsey class together and get on the same money page.  [/quote]

Our kids have a bit of way left before becoming school aged. But in retrospect I've been looking at what he has had to do, and less of what he will have to do when they are in school, I'm gone, and household responsibilities have to be filled. If that is what he is prepping for than I can see that, he hasn't made any suggestion to it. He used to always say he could never be a SAHD, so I've been operating on the assumption that he stays where he is career wise, still works and we have to hire more help and depend on my family more to fill in the gap. I don't find that an admirable reason to remain underemployed. If I'm wrong and he is deliberately scaling back, then that's a conversation we need to have.

I have no school debt, undergrad was minuscule and paid off already, everything after that was fully paid by scholarships. I guess I don't have any "big" things to pay for with a priority, to say hey don't spend that ridiculous amount on XYZ. He has student loan debt but not a ridiculous amount. To the other PP about buying a fridge and helping parents get by, I can support. But the gifts if am referring to is related to his father's hobbies and likes, as well as his sister, his niece is more school related which I have no problem taking on. [/quote]
