unemployed for 6 years now, and that's after being cut from IT industry in 2001 needing to take a survival job with 1/5 the pay. So then I decide to go back to school while my wife has exceptional success with her career. Degrees in networking technology/computer forensics and a OpsMgt degree from ASU, I'm still unemployed one year efter graduation. Its just not worth going back to work making just enough to cover child care and missing out on the joy of parenthood. Yeah that's right, wages have been cut to ridiculous levels in all three of my fields. Do not worry, mommy works 6am-3pm and from home two days a week, she gets to spend plenty of time with them too. Would the extra income and piece of mind that comes with it be nice? You bet. But for now we are just fine. And yes, I ride plenty;tue & thur nighter and sat & sun morn.

Btw, my two oldest are in the pool as I type this with the baby sitting in my lap filling her diaper with a fury.
