[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I usually hate it when people pull out the "you're just jealous" card, but seriously: what is up with all the haters furious at the idea of a mom staying home during *not* the most grueling years of childcare?  I'm a WOHM, and bring in the majority of our income.  But my husband still has raised the idea of me quitting entirely to stay home because my job is super stressful, he makes a good income that we could live on if we budgeted well, and he (shocker) cares about me and my mental health.  I changed jobs instead, but the fact that his solution was for me to just get out of a bad situation and we'll figure it out together meant a lot to me.

Yeah, it's a privilege to be able to take time off if you're burned out.  OP recognizes that. But the fact that her burnout is happening now, or that she seems to have more options to deal with burnout now that DH makes $$$, doesn't mean she doesn't actually love her kids or she's a gold digger, ffs.[/quote]

+1. Well said. NP, also a WOHP. [/quote]
