I'm sure he has.  :(

I can kinda see [i]both[/i] sides here so I am on the fence.

I can see how important it is for your career and for you to advance properly if you put in the extra time + effort right now, yet I can also see how overwhelmed she must feel w/childcare duties.

However, I am kinda leaning on your wife's side a little more.
Why so?

Just because you also made the conscious decision to be a [b]parent[/b] and by making that choice, one must understand that certain sacrifices have to made in one's life along w/that choice.
And for you, career sacrifices must be considered.

Good luck. [/quote]

A PP DW here.  That sounds great and all - but is the OP's wife willing to work full time?  Is she willing to pass up the fancy vacations and the private school?  See...I am all for sacrificing in the career if there is a mutual realization and agreement that career sacrifice = less money, a downgrade in lifestyle and realization that those career/financial goals may never be reached.  In otherwords, if OP jumps off the fast track at work, his DW then has no right to complain if they cannot afford private school, etc.   [/quote]
