[quote=Anonymous]Do you guys want kids? Just know that the workload (cleaning, shopping, cooking, dishes, laundry, etc...not to mention general caretaking and planning and - at the rate you guys are going - resentment) will TRIPLE if you do have kids.

Either way, it sounds like this is a problem you're ultimately going to have to either come to terms with, or get her to agree to hiring someone. And...it sounds like at this point you guys can afford to hire someone.

Finally, I don't agree with your characterization of her as an "entitled bum" - she's not sitting around doing nothing all day (nor are SAHMS, ftr!). She's working 11 hour days...and she packs your lunch, which seems sweet and definitely isn't something she has to do. Your approach to that ('she messes it up half the time!') makes me think you're being overly critical. Once again, if you have kids the 2 hour trashy tv fest in the morning likely will become a thing of the past - but I wouldn't begrudge her wanting to have some downtime. Just be frank: tell her either she has to agree to taking cooking/cleaning X nights per week, OR she has to be okay with hiring someone. Maybe this person can come during the day when you are both out of the house?[/quote]
