[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why did you "tell" her, not ask her, per the title of your thread?

Why can't you get a better paying job?  In this economy, you can't find a better paying job?  What's wrong with you?

She's working PT already.  Could she really be pulling the salary you think after taking all those FT years off to raise your kids?  Sacrificing her career?

They are her kids too.  She got all expenses paid during these years.  Let's not pretend OP did nothing.   She didn't sacrifice her career - she stayed home willingly.[/quote]

OMG.  Such belittling of SAHM.  Yet if you GET PAID to be a nanny, that is respectable, right?  Because the nanny is ACTUALLY GETTING PAID?  So taking care of kids, driving them to practices and dental appointments is only valuable work if you are actually paid to do it for another family.

Meanwhile, OP knows he is not earning enough in his career and is not pursuing more lucrative position in private sector.

On DCUM, these weak make [b]providers[/b] get all the support.

This word gives me the creeps. Wake up people. It is 2020! What about women empowerment? equality? We don't need to be provided for. [/quote]

I think it's weird, I've only seen it used here - not in real life!

Income earned is joint in a marriage. With both their incomes they should be doing fine, OP's wife apparently wants to keep her job. Just like OP. Unless they've somehow gotten themselves in debt I don't see a problem. Like most kids they can get jobs and loans once they get to college.
