[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Baby is 10 months. She's been back 6, but is leaving the firm to take a government job with more reliable schedule and catastrophically lower pay. But she's not enthusiastic about the move, because 9 to 5 still feels to her like it will be too few hours with the kid. For me, an hour in the morning and two at night is plenty on weekdays. Not for her. I cannot tell her to "suck it up." [/quote]

And then she will quit, stay at home, and feel like 8 hours a day is too much with the kid and why don't you do more to help out? And then she will start with why don't you make more money so she can do all the things the other mommies do in her playgroup - shop, shop, baby activities, shop, eat out.

Yes, you tell your wife she is an adult and to start acting like one. You do not have the resources for her to sit at home without making serious lifestyle changes. If she doesn't want to do that, then stop whining.  And just in case she might try the more stupid tactic of claiming divorce - ha, ha - jokes on her bc she will now parent her child half the time, with half the money.
