[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Glad you are not my husband.  He decided we needed more money so he went out and got a better job.  Instead of complaining, get a better job.  Problem solved.[/quote]

Oh God. This is so gross. Must be a troll trying to make SAHM's look bad. I work full time but have many sah friends-  there is no way that any of them would even think something like the above let alone vomit it out. Yuck.[/quote]

How is it gross?  He wanted me home.    We could not make it on his income but paying for day care was most of my income for one child after taxes.  So, he got a better job that has now covered my entire salary and more.  He could not have done it if I wasn't home doing everything and caring for his mom.[/quote]

Glad you are not my husband- catty but ok
He decided to get a better job - ok
Instead of complaining, get a better job - totally gross casting him in the role of the bad guy for not being willing to pick up his wife's slack in the expectations they set early in their marriage when she dropped to part time. If you can't see the difference between this situation and one where both partners agree to a Sahp situation, I can't help you.

HTH![/quote]

OP wife works part-time.  She is not a SAHM.  He agreed to it and now is changing his mind.  He easily could try to make more money rather than pushing it out on her.  He may be the one underpaid.[/quote]

He says in his original post that the plan was always for her to return to full time work as their kids aged. She is reneging on that agreement. He may want her to live up to her end of the bargain rather than "easily finding a job that pays more". Wtf?[/quote]
