[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think its a great idea for your wife to go back to work.  Clearly you are not a particularly nice person and would probably leave her high and dry in a divorce and she needs a back up plan.

With that said, if she goes back to work, she will have little to no leave.  Are you prepared to do all the doctor/dental appointments? Are you prepared to take of for half days and  teacher work days?  Are you prepared to make child care arrangements for summers, spring break and winter break.  Are you prepared to take off at a moments notice to pick up  your sick chid from school?  Are you prepared to be at home 10-14 days if they get covid?  Are you prepared to be home early to drive you kids to every activity?  No including, the cooking, cleaning and other household duties.  And, how much do you think it would cost to hire a full-time nanny?

You make a fortune.  I don't get it.

If we made what you did there is no question our kids would be in private.  The publics are a hot mess right now.[/quote]

Does anybody read?? Ops kids are entering teenage years. What is wrong with y’all!![/quote]

Everything Pp wrote applies to teenagers. You think an 11 year old can drive themselves to activities, drive home when sick, and cook their own dinner?[/quote]

Wtf are you talking about??

Another woman who just does not want to work.

Newsflash most families have two working parents who get all of those things you mentioned done for their children. The binary thinking from some of you is sad af.[/quote]

Right.  It gets done because the woman manages it.  Most women have two jobs - outside of the home and running the household.

Right.  Totally agree.  OP should do what is best for his children, they can afford it.  Her getting a job or not shouldn't be a variable in whether to said the kids to private.  If she wants to get a job, great.  If she feels she is busy enough at home and is contributing benefit to the family in staying home, then continue that.  This idea that if you don't work for a paycheck (that isn't needed), that somehow makes you lazy.  There is plenty benefit to have one parent home, always available, and managing all things to do with house, kids, meals, etc. [/quote]
