You can say the same about OPs wife. Women want equality, but refuse to work. Their children have two parents, and it's every much her responsibility to provide for them as it is his. She sounds lazy and wants to socialize with her SAHM friends.

OP, you won't get helpful responses because this board is filled with SAHMs and women who want to bag high earning men so they can be lazy and not work. [/quote]

Woman here. I would take a high earning husband who loves me over equality anyday. Sorry it’s the truth. I feel so bad for OP’s wife. Not that she may have to work more but because he is a not high earner who doesn’t seem to love her very much. [/quote]

This is what many women find. My husband knew I would be in and out of the work force, pretty much said it's up to me. We also live beneath our means and still have 2 retirements, and one home paid off. OP and his wife can scale back, the kids can get loans and scholarships for college. [/quote]

If I were one of OP’s kids and knew my mom chose not to work in order to save/pay for college and I had to take out a loan because of it I would be resentful. That is the height of selfishness. I guarantee your kids would rather have paid college. [/quote]

And, why can't you do both?  My husband now has a decent income but it is only recent.  And yet, our kids still have a decent college fun in elementary school that will fully pay for a state school tuition and room/board for 4 years and probably a bit left over and we save for retirement.  Life is about choices.  You can choose to have a million dollar house and little savings or a smaller house/$400K or so and put that $600K to retirement and college.  I'd resent if there was no savings and my parents bought a million dollar house and screamed poverty.  We fully plan to pay for college and possibly graduate school with a SAHM and not a "high" income.  Its very possible to do and have a parent at home.

Lots of high income two parent families don't pay for college.  Is that ok?[/quote]
