[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its very different being a SAHM in the summer vs. school year.  During the school year with older kids she gets a break, during the summer its 24/7.  Its very hard when your spouse doesn't travel to all of the sudden travel for weeks at a time.  I would offer to ramp down to part-time if you are against it.  Personally, I think you should support her and find a higher paying job.  That's what my husband did but he wanted me to SAH.[/quote]
Why? He's already doing most of the parenting and his wife has made it clear that she will expect him to continue to do that even if she no longer works. He doesn't need to kill himself doing everything so that his wife can stay at home while the kids are in school.[/quote]

Absolutely agree!  I usually hate the "if the genders were reversed!" posters but honestly, if we were talking about a DH asking his default-parent-DW to ramp up at work so he could be a SAHD, we'd be telling OP to shut it down ASAP.  [/quote]
