[quote=Anonymous]Sounds to me like you all need to schedule a time to sit down, without the kid around, and take a hard look at your expenses. Talk about what you both would consider an ideal situation. Then run the numbers for all scenarios: you both work until retirement, she moves to PT and you work FT until the kid is out of the house, she becomes a SAHM until the kid is out of the house, or she becomes a SAHM and remains one after the kid leaves the house. Discuss what all scenarios would entail. Who would cover what responsibilities. Also, run the numbers for retirement and funding college and perhaps grad school. An honest heart to heart, without either of you getting upset, could do wonders. She is probably feeling guilty and realizing that she only has a few years with your kid at home...and this is troubling her. Good luck! [/quote]
