[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You’re not just losing out on your wife’s take home pay if she doesn’t work - you’re also missing her 401k contributions, opportunity loss, benefits (although they vary by position).

It’s also not “her job” to pay for daycare. It should be considered that it comes proportionally out of each of your paychecks. You are (newsflash!) also responsible for your child’s care. [/quote]

I view it as coming out of her paycheck because the two are mutually exclusive (sort of). If she works, we pay for daycare. If she doesn’t work, we don’t pay for daycare. We don’t have the option to not have me work, as I make 6x as much. It’s just basic math/logic[/quote]

This is a harmful attitude that you need to cut out.  The child is both of yours and viewing her as the expected caretaker and so "paying" for care is inappropriate.  It will harm your marriage to view it this way.  You guys have to be a team or it won't end up well at all.

She's a person, not a role in your house.[/quote]
