re: Married men of the OT, how many of you are single income HH?

Do I understand this correctly? Your wife went through pre-med, med school, residency, surgical internship and fellowship and considered moving to LA to be a stay-at-home Mommy instead of working as a surgeon, which required God knows how much time, energy and sacrifice to achieve? That's insane. Once you start down that path, you are pot committed. If you want someone to be home with the kids then the non-surgeon can eat that bullet.

She would never move to LA. She isn’t from there. My point was that we for us to live a very nice life in an expensive part of the country close to her family requires two incomes. The trade off was moving south and she could stay at home. And yes, there is the discussion about giving up years of training to raise a family. At the end of the day, she is happy doing what she is doing and serving a very underserved patient population. I think she gets annoyed because there are a number of women in my town that don’t work but their husbands are pulling in close if not more than 7 figures.
