[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I never thought I’d want to sah - and I still don’t really but with dh’s demanding /  much higher paying job it’s made working at anything interesting and meaningful career wise very stressful to be both primary parent to baby and toddler and a good employee.  [b]Dh won’t change his high travel / high pay path[/b] so I’m debating what to do.  I want my kids to have a stable and loving childhood and will not sacrifice that to pursue my own career ambitions. If you never thought you’d sah but ended up doing it, how did it go emotionally?[/quote]

OP, this right here is a problem.  Regardless of whatever path you choose, the fact that your husband won't make a change and is therefore putting this all on your is not ok.  If you keep working, you'll end up stressed and worn out.  If you quit, who says he'll respect anything you do?  You can consider how you'd feel about staying home or not, but the real thing you need to address is the fact that you and your husband are not on the same page.[/quote]
