[quote=Anonymous]I've been home for 9 years.  When I first left work after having DC1, DH was making under 100K a year (we didn't live here at the time), just over with his bonus.  I was making 35K.  Now he's making +250K with bonus and we have 3 kids.  He absolutely wouldn't want to have to shuffle his schedule around to help with sick days, snow days, Dr. appointments, etc. and is out a couple of nights a week.  He needs me to make his life run smoothly (it's part of why he's so successful) and I'm okay with doing it - otherwise I'm afraid I'd be working for beans AND have the additional stressors of taking care of all the unforeseen stuff (hell after this past month I would have probably been fired).  He's not great at the day to day stuff - but he's super involved with our kids on the weekends.

Am I happy I'm not using my MS to it's fullest?  No, but I've been able to find other things to keep my mind stimulated and this was what we'd sort of planned for ourselves before we married so I knew what I was signing up for.  [/quote]
