[quote=Anonymous]OP I am sympathetic to your situation but I think you should try to look at the upsides. I don't know what your work is but for me, I would love to have a SAHM (I am a WOHM) at home. Never worry missing a day of work for sick kid, random teacher in service day. Don't have to do errands or pick dry cleaning on the weekends. Come home to dinner. Never argue about drop off/pick up. If you have to work late or last minute business trip, no problem.  I am surprised at how many husbands here are complaining about their sahms. My husband would be thrilled if I didn't work for the sole reason that having kids is really hard to juggle with 2 working parents.

When my husband was furloughed during the shutdown, it was awesome. It was like having a wife at home.

Now maybe your work isn't so demanding that you work 9-5 and have great flexibility. But having someone at home will make your life much less chaotic.

Your financial concerns are obviously legitimate. I echo PPs who say that you should sit down with your wife and say I respect your desire to stay home to take care of the kids and family. But without your income, we are going to need to move and I want to do that before the second baby is born. You should also be clear on the expectations of what she will do and what you will do (in terms of household chores) and on the newly diminished household budget. [/quote]
