[quote=Anonymous]OP, My advice would be... support the desire and need for self care in terms of gym, hair cuts, mani/pedi, lunches out and coffee. These are, I think, the most important for well being and bang/buck. discuss cutting back/postponing "luxury" items until she is back at work. the massage/spa day can be the bday present. Does she really need every expensive cream? Cut back on clothing purchases--a few great items for her, okay, kids clothes should be thrifted. No way would I buy kids clothes at boden! Put together some savings goals; a trip, etc, so that its not just taking away, but saving money toward something. also dont make it about only her spending, but about the household budget in general. She is providing minimum 100k in labor for child and home care! [/quote]
