[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Regardless of what this feels like to you right now, know that you've just taught your wife that the price of getting her way to is to just do whatever she wants and cry a lot and consistently when questioned. This lesson should help you with raising your children. Don't know about grown adults, though.[/quote]

[b]Honestly, what else can OP do?[/b] Yeah, he could bitch and demand that the wifey goes back to the mines, but she's going to be pissed and it will either implode or just be a nasty cycle of people being angry about what they want or don't want. I don't think that's any way to live.

OP, you are doing the right thing. I read the entire thread and it's pretty obvious your wife is kind of mixed up professionally and is taking a break, and focusing on her kids even though the drudgery of being a stay at home mom isn't her cup of tea. Good on you for supporting her, she's lucky. I hope she realizes it and makes the most of the opportunity and figures out why things went badly at her last job and why or what she wants to do with the rest of her life. [/quote]
That's called "making virtue out of necessity".  Just because there isn't anything else OP can do, doesn't mean what he decided to do is good, reasonable or virtuous.  It is simply what he is doing because no other options are on the table within his comfort boundaries. [/quote]
