[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??

[b]Another woman who just does not want to work. [/b]

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]

I am a woman who works. I even out-earn my H.

You're not understanding the point. The point is not that OP's wife shouldn't work. The point is that OP needs to consider how her working will impact his life, lifestyle. and career, and decide if those trade-offs are worth it to him. He will have to make sacrifices in his job, his personal life, hobbies, etc. He won't get to come home and unwind after work, he'll have to pitch in. He'll have to take days off work for sick kids. He'll have to make sure he leaves the office by a certain time to get his kids to their activities. He can say good-bye to any hobbies he has, won't be able to participate in them much anymore.

It's delusional for OP to think his wife will work AND continue all of the SAHM duties, and equally delusional to think children in middle school require little to no care.
