I was rather flippant when I quit my full time stressful job to take a part time job. I really wanted to do it...I was so stressed out. Devin was undergoing chemo and radiation. I had a new baby and a 4 year old and a longer commute. I decided I would take the job and hope and pray.
It worked out...there were some bumps but it worked in the end. I did not give up a career, though. Just more money.
Well, flippancy is not the same thing as despair :(.
My Mom was the reverse. WHILE dad was doing chemo etc. us kids all took turns staying at the hospitals (sometimes they'd even let us sleep over - we knew ALL the hospital cafeterias in the Med Center before too long!).
No, I mean if he couldn't work our expenses are such that we could easily pay for the necessities if I worked for 9$ an hr.... I can easily make more than that, but we can survive fine on that.
I understand. But that means your DH would be willing to SAH while you did said $9/hour job - till he found something else :) :) which goes back to my men-being-willing-to-hands-on-parent statement.

It's a variance in the responsibility level that amazes me.
