[quote=Anonymous]Your therapist has crossed a boundary and is trying to impose his own belief system on you and furthermore does not seem to value unpaid "work." Plus, he is in a profession that needs a certain number of clients during the typical work day to survive. If he is mostly working evenings, weekends that isn't conducive toward his own family life being positive.

He sounds pretty green so I think this goes beyond giving him feedback. Even if he has a clinical blindspot, he should have enough life experience to understand the value of being a SAHM and if you and your spouse are pleased he should not interfere. I would move on. 
    
   If, as someone suggested, you are showing signs you would be happier working more for pay, then you could gradually increase the hours of your very part time job. Instead, he basically told you working full time is the only way to go.

Move on. If he asks you why, just tell him you got x, y and z out of it, but you feel it's no longer a match. If he is so rigid he thinks full time paid work is the only option for a married couple with kids, I doubt he will accept constructive feedback well.[/quote]
