[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The main issue isn't really the salary- it's the long hours and how it impacts their family life. The dh makes $64k and works 60 hours a week?! This doesn't even count the time he has to spend commuting to work. Making $64k at a strictly 9-5 job with a short commute is reasonable- this situation is not.

It's understandably difficult to find a new job in your fifties but he should, at least, try to find a position with better hours. Regardless, he shouldn't be saddling OP, who also works full-time, with all the childcare and household management responsibilities.

Where do they live? In DC, that's not a good salary. In Shreveport, Louisiana, it's not bad -- even with the overtime.

And most people don't work 60 hours per week. They might do that for occasional busy stretches, here and there, but I doubt this guy has been working 60 hours per week for years and years, unless they have multiple jobs or have some kind of awesome dream job that they are passionate about. OP must be counting his lunch hour and commute as "work."[/quote]
