[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My wife is a SAHM. She says she desperately needs help during the day. We have 1 toddler. He is definitely a handful. I will give her that. He will not adjust to gym childcare. She has tried a ton of times. He happier at home with a babysitter. I offer her breaks when I get home from work and weekend mornings. She rarely takes me up on the offer. She says it's hard to go out and relax somewhere else. She wants to be at home. Hiring a babysitter part time is pricey and we're solidly middle class. My income is about 90 k. We no longer live in DC metro area so 90 k is fine for us. [b]I want to help my wife feel less stressed but I am not sure how to go about it?[/b] Also, keep in mind we have no family help at all. Both of DW parents passed away. Her mother passed away a year before we had our son. I know she's still grieving the lost of her mother. She went to therapy about a year ago and did a grieving workshop for a while. Our son will cry if she tries to leave in the evenings. She feels guilty and will ALWAYS end up taking him someone for her "break". She wants to go back to work when our son is 3 and is in all day preschool.

she 'desperately needs help' for one child under 3 yrs old? Please don't have any more children with her.  She needs a therapist, and the stress probably isn't about the kid, it's about her life isn't as glamorous as she thought it would be and she can't handle the lack of ritz in her life.[/quote]
