[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is kind of wrong. My kids are the same age, and it’s hard to figure out what to do with them. They are too old for most camps or to have a babysitter, but too young to really manage their free time well. You can empathize with her and not take it personally, OP. [/quote] Again it is about her feeling like she should not be working. The kid is fine and stays busy. [/quote] Then why doesn't she quit? You said you make 4x what she makes. I'm guessing you make like $250K or something? Why does she need to work? Why doesn't she just quit. I was bitter that I had to work to help pay for DH's vacation home he purchased before we got together (he did put me on title after we got married) instead of being at home with the kids. I wanted to stop working for a bit while the kids were still young, and I was always so stressed out. He finally agreed to sell the vacation home , but only because we needed a 3rd bedroom after opposite gender DC #2 was born, and after much arguing. I was on the verge of telling him that I wanted to split our finances, and he would have to pay for that house on his own. I was happy to get myself off the title if it meant I could be home with the kids. But before we sold, I was super bitter, and it hurt our marriage. I did eventually go back to work and that enabled DH to eventually retire early, which he had always wanted to do.[/quote]
