[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For those saying the working parent sacrifices and suffers too...yes, that is true. But I don't think I am alone in saying, as a mother who has been home and a mother who has worked....home is harder. Significantly actually, in ways that can be hard to articulate.  And really, it would be hard to grasp that fully if you have not done it. But it's in the neighborhood of a loss of status, stimulation, self esteem, sense of self,, etc. I very gradually got more depressed...nothing severe, I just started to feel empty. Work may be demanding, but if you have even a semblance of control and respect at work, you have more than what many mothers will feel in the day to day. Not all...but some. Try to cultivate empathy. She deserves it.[/quote]

Maybe but it is all in how you define success and happiness. If you/OPs wife only looks to external validation from your circle and status level you will Always be disappointed in yourself. Seek counseling and figure out what makes you fulfilled and do that regardless of what others think.[/quote]
