flowmom | need to commit to myself

[flowmom]

Thank you for your 'report.' Any work that you do is appreciated. We've talked about it before, but I just don't think that my current level of work is sustainable, especially given the amount of childcare which I want to do plus the commuting and shuffling of kids back and forth between homes.

So here's a first draft for a reply:

I can understand why it feels unsustainable to work as much as you are, do as much childcare as you want to, and continue the amount of commuting/shuffling that you are doing.

I would like to move towards finding a balance of earning/childcare that works for both of us.

Perhaps a good starting point would be for you to let me know specifically how much income you want me to contribute to our family finances?
