I think this is the most important point. You need to do what works best for your family. In our house, things also work best when my wife is at home. She currently works part-time and really doesn't want to. She never wanted a career. She is traditional and would much rather be at home full-time, as she was for 10 years, but right now, she's willing to do the PT job because she knows padding the retirement account is worth the sacrifice (50% of her gross goes to her 401k). I don't know how long she will continue to work but for now, we're dealing with it and glad we're socking away the extra income.
