[quote=Anonymous]We did this for a couple of years, and as the wife/mother, I don’t recommend it.

I can’t speak on your financial situation, but for us, the money wasn’t worth it. We were comfortable and thought we could do so much with the extra money, but it’s no fun when you have a pile of cash and no companionship. It was like, what’s the point?

The kids adjusted fine. They went about their lives as they normally did. But for me, there was loneliness, and eventually, resentment. Everything—EVERYTHING—falls on you on M-F morning. On nights when things are chaotic at home, you’ll think of your husband and his carefree evenings.

Weekends aren’t the same. Your spouse will want to be HOME, so all of those things you thought you’d do with all of that extra cash? You don’t do them.

But seriously, the loneliness. Really consider this. You may be self-sufficient and enjoy your own company, but this loneliness for companionship is REAL. There is no money worth spending your good years alone. Also, you only raise kids once. [/quote]
