I’m thinking about working on this design… honest
Another year o’ wedded bliss has come and gone…
Yesterday we celebrated our sixth wedding anniversary with brunch and an afternoon spent wandering around Westport. An absolutely perfect way to spend the day if you are at that point in your life where you can no longer drop everything and jet off to London for the weekend. Yeah, that’s us.
The job interview was last Friday. An interesting opportunity… but… lots of buts. Sue is not going to leave her business and that leaves me to stay with the kids during the day. Unless there’s some serious money in the offering (I mean serious bucks here folks…) we’re not about to make a major change not only in our lifestyle but in our basic parenting philosophy. We believe our kids will be much better off if one of us is home with them while they are growing up. Not to diss parents who put their kids in day care or have a full time nanny but that’s just not for us. So hopefully, the phone won’t ring with a job offer so I don’t have to agonize over going back to work.
As always… stay tuned.
Congrats on 6, Dave.
Jetting off to London on a moment’s notice is highly overrated… I hear. :^)
David, congratulations! We made 4 years this summer. When you first posted about this, it seemed like such a tough decision to me. But now reading this, I think the same as you - I find it far better that my son gets to be home with his dad than not have either of us around all day. It’s funny - I was listening to some money news of some kind on npr last night and they were talking about how to have savings in case you suddenly find your two-income household reduced to one. And I wanted to yell: “what about if all we have is one income to start with?!” I think that money is highly overrated if you can clothe, feed and shelter your children, it’s kinda nice to share that stuff with them in person.
