[quote=Anonymous]OP, have you thought about the stress on her for having the primary care duties (i.e. she is probably packing up baby for day care, picking up/dropping off), all the cooking, cleaning and laundry as well as caring for the baby.  That is a lot in and of itself.  If anything, you need to step up your game and help out more at home if you are expecting her to be the higher wage earner working full time.  At a minimum you need to do 50/50.  Maybe you are but it doesn't sound like it.

As a SAHM, I am far more busy now than I was working as the child keeps me busy.  Between cooking, cleaning, shopping, laundry, multiple doctor/therapy appointments, preschool, activities I am running far more and doing far more than my husband who walks into the door (though sometimes with dinner thoughtfully) and just plays.  When I get sick and he takes over for a day, he's just has the child duties and running without the cooking, cleaning, laundry, errands, scheduling appointments of all of us... oh, all the car repairs, paying the bills... the list goes on.  Then, he appreciates me, forgets and he does it again and his appreciation increases.
