[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make it your job to manage the finances. Make it your job not to shop the money away. Make it your job to educate your children (skip private). Make it your job to stretch the dollar and you never have to work again. Be Amy Dacyczyn.
I'm pretty sure I took it too far with the 'skip the private'. Let the nanny go at some point or only part time.
Your family makes too much money for you to work a job you don't like. You still need to be smart about it, and do think about working part time at some point. Sitting at home is boring.

Sorry you feel "sitting at home is boring" because you are not just sitting at home---you are actively taking care of and raising your kids---it's far from boring.  It can be stressful and mind numbing certain days but that is life....I don't regret for a second being a SAHP for our kids (and a nanny would have only been 20% of my take home pay---I could have easily done that and avoided daycare centers)

That being said, if you would be miserable at home with your kids FT, then definately work PT and put them with a nanny or childcare of some type, because everyone including the kids will be better for that if you are not invested/happy being at home full time[/quote]
