Help! Husband pushing me to find job!

My husband has just taken a leave of absense from his high paying 80 hour a week job to focus on being home more and finding out what he really wants to do. He is now working 3 days a week at a job he really likes. He always said if he took this job he would find another part time job to supplement the income. I am working weekends and babysitting during the week, but my income is a joke. Our kids are 5 and 3 and cry every weekend when I leave. My problem is this: my husband has put no effort in finding that 2nd job he said he would find and is pushing me to work full time. I want to be a stay at home mom, but it may mean him going back to a job he hates. He says the kids will adjust, get over it. Am I being selfish or lazy for wanting to stay home? Is he being selfish for leaving a good paying job?

I went to a very small school from 7-12 grade and I took some form of science every year. It was required in order to graduate. I can't remember the number of science teachers-I think it was four.

Not much overhead in cheerleading?

my dd wanted to do cheerleading when she was little, and I said no because the registration fee was over $400!!

It is definately the age. In high school it costs a lot but she is 7 and does not do it for a school.
