Oh hun, this is such a hard one. I earn more than DH atm also, and I would really love not to be working ft. But for the moment it is the way it is. DH does earn a good income also, so we were lucky enough that I could have two lots of 8 months off, and two stints of pt work as well. Also DH was a SAHD for a few months so the boys had a parent at home for a while when I first started back ft.
I don't really have an answer for you, other than to search your soul. Is your current arrangement working for the family? Is your DS happy? Will you regret having less time with your DS? And what are your options? Is there a way you can all be happy on less money if you work pt or not at all? Maybe if you moved? These are things that you need to ask yourself, and find the answers in your heart.
I hope you manage to work it out. It is hard, I really feel for you.
