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?

It's right across from 123 Pleasant St. Down the street from the parking garage. They have awesome burritos.

I don't get why, if people buy classics that will last for decades, as everybody here claims to do, you have to keep buying clothes. At some point, don't you have ENOUGH clothes that will last for decades?

I LOVE fancy restaurants every now and then. We go about once every other month or so. I enjoy the fine food, pleasant & quiet atmosphere. When we were in St. Martin for our honeymoon, we developed a real love of French food (YUM!) -- and the restaurants were beautiful and elegant.

In fact, when we went away two weeks ago to Newport, RI, we made it a point to go to one of their French restaurants. The food was fabulous and the restaurant was so chic. A nice change of pace from the sandwich and pizza places we went to for lunch.

1 or 2 years? Where do you get your info? Up here its 3 years-1 year of regular science, 1 of Biology and 1 of Chemistry. And a good portion of the seniors take physics.

Here it's one year of biology and one of general science. Our state just upped the math standard to include algebra for all graduates.
