[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's tough, OP.

Do you regularly have meetings where you talk about goals? If so, that would be an ideal time to bring it up. Even if you don't, try scheduling one. Talk about the freedoms a higher income would provide. Retirement, college, emergency savings,  fun money.

What does she do now that she wouldn't be able to do if she worked more? Would outsourcing housework help? Would setting up a recurring ladies' night help her feel like she will be able to remain social?

[b]Let's be honest. If she goes from SAHM to full time WOHM she will no longer be in that friendship circle. They hang out almost daily, their schedules won't mesh, her social life will be curtailed. But the family has needs that need to be met so she should step up.[/b] [/quote]

OP - this is what you are ignoring.  I have a friend in the same situation.  Instead of working full time, she refuses to do so - I know it is because of her social circle.  She would never, ever admit that.  She would come up with some other excuse.[/quote]
