We really need the OP to come back and clarify if this is the same person who posted the other thread that some have identified. That post dealt with some very different issues including preschool, but if this is the same OP, he is now back trying to get...support? Sympathy? Arguments in his favor he can make to his wife to try to get her to drop this job? All by reframing the issue and leaving out the much bigger and deeper picture of the preschool questions raised in the other thread's initial post. This OP only mentions the wife not wanting a kid in day care, but the other thread goes into how there's more than one kid, and the wife thinks there's no need for preschool (which raises totally different issues) etc. etc.

OP, you need to come clean if you are the OP of that other thread and discuss why you are re-framing this to eliminate aspects, like preschool, and details, like your other child, which are important overall.

If you are NOT the OP of the other thread, fine, but we do need to know. If you re-framed, you really are trying hard to get some support from the total strangers here. That would indicate to me that you and your wife communicate very poorly indeed. [/quote]

OP here. No that's not me. We have a toddler. No cleaning services. [/quote]

So, OP, there have been a lot of questions. Are you going to answer any of them?? What is the REAL issue you have with your wife working weekends? Is it that you miss her? Is it that you don't like being a solo parent? Or something else??[/quote].

OP here. I don't think it's helping her career. If she wants to work, I would like her to do something more respectable. I don't feel like it's taking away from family time. Our toddler is happy without her. I take him to the YMCA on Saturdays. We have a standing dinner party with friends every Saturday night. Anyway, she seems to be happy she can contribute to the finances. The above person that went on for never seems crazy, by the way. I couldn't read the whole thing.[/quote]

Ah, so the real issue is your find your wife’s job embarrassing. [/quote]
