[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you two talked about what his role would be post baby? Jobs with high salaries usually require long hours. Maybe he wants to downshift to a normal 9-5 job or even go part time. In that case, you becoming a sahm might result in lifestyle sacrifices he's not comfortable with. [/quote] No he doesn't want to do that and has never mentioned it. If anything, he has been pushing harder lately at certain projects.[/quote] PP here. If he has no intention of parent tracking post baby, then it makes even more sense for you to sah. Dual career households work best when both parents have 9-5 jobs. In your case, the demands of his job would mean that the bulk of childcare and household management would fall to you. Since he clearly makes more than enough money to support the household, there's no point in you doing two jobs. [/quote]
