[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would imagine you discussed the decision to stay at home with your spouse and didn't up and quit without a discussion. My DH would be angry if that happened, understandably, and if you then bring up a post-nup it'll absolutely look like you are gearing up to leave them.

So talk with your spouse about the situation. Our DD has anxiety (generalized, social, and separation), most likely dyslexia (too close to the end of the year for testing through the school so need to wait until the start of next year for that), and potentially another learning disability (that would also be diagnosed through the school testing). Yeah it's rough, but we both still work so we can afford outside testing (if needed), additional/specialized tutoring (if warranted), and the 2 summer classes she is taking to help with reading/writing this summer (only 1 day a week).

That all wouldn't be possible if I stayed home. I'm not sure what I would be doing anyways if she was in school... Clean the house? Certainly not much child related. Maybe a phone call to schedule something but that wouldn't be daily...[/quote]

I also want to add if you're quitting to home school and have never taught or come close to teaching and your child is older than 1st grade there is going to be a HUGE learning curve for you, and most likely you'll end up spending $$ on a tutor, additional classes, curriculum, lesson plans, books/activities, and more. It's not a cheap en-devour.[/quote]
