[quote=Anonymous] OP-as someone with a range of kids, who's done just about every wohm/sahm combo there is at some point-let me say, I agree that your wife should not have made this choice unilaterally. My dh and I always made my work choices together since it impacts both of us and all our kids.

That being said-right now you have two little kids. From experience, if you can swing it for her to be home, NOW is the time for that. Things will be different in like 3 years. But now is really a nice time to be able to have her home. As far as your job-if you want to spend more time at home, then I think you should do whatever you need to do financially to afford that. Used cars, smaller home, no private school, whatever...I was sahm for a time and we delayed getting a larger home and newer cars for years. But then the kids got older, I went back to work and we got the bigger house, newer car and kids got braces and one's in college and all that. Don't feel like you have to work long days to do all taht NOW, you have time and if you want a shorter job for a couple of years while they are little, you can.[/quote]
