[quote=Anonymous]I have a question OP...Prior to having children together...Or even getting married...Did you + your wife even discuss your future plans together and what your roles would be once you had children?

I.e., Would one parent stay home full-time, would the children go to daycare, etc.?

Did your wife agree that they would be in daycare and that she would have a career, then once they were here, she simply quit her job and just stayed home instead, yet at the same time is now complaining about her decision?? If that is the case, then I can totally see why you are resentful. I would be too.

However, if you and her never discussed what your plans would be once you had children together and you just ASSUMED that she would continue working, then it really isn't her fault how things turned out.

Personally, I think it's best for the children to stay home w/their mother during these early years vs. being cared for by strangers in a daycare. If they had a nanny, I would be more okay w/it, but not daycare.[/quote]
