Well aren't you all kinds of rational and reasonable. :)
And that's why I have always worked - because I needed the money for my non-working life. But at this point, the amount I could bring in would add less benefit to the household than the disadvantages my working would bring. I find it immensely frustrating when we both work the amount of "free time" that we have to devote to household chores and whatnot - with me not working I can do laundry and all that while H is at work, and our leisure time is actually for leisure. It's a highly individual calculus, and probably chaotic.
