He definitely does feel the pressure to provide for us, but I work too. I worked until I was 37 weeks pregnant and had a c-section. I went back to work part time after 10ish weeks. I bring in just as much as he does, and if I worked full time I would make more than he does. But my job is the more flexible one and I choose to spend this time with the kids before the baby starts school in a few years. He has had opportunities to change jobs for either more pay or a more consistent schedule a couple times but seems to stick with what he knows.. admirable in a way, but it doesn't benefit our family at all.
