No way!!! I was earning more than my hubby when I left work 4 years ago. I just economised and used 'gentle persuasion' to encourage him to earn more. Now here we are, earning much more than a combined income less childcare fees - and I'm still at home with my babies!

I know not everyone can do it, but that time is so precious and I have worked fulltime with bubbies, and it's not easy. You do what you have to do for you and your bub!
