[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, this is the kind of stuff people should think about -- fair and equitable. Maybe OP and his wife didn't need constant childcare but it does sound like they could have used some help when the babies were born and mom didn't extend herself. Now OP expects his wife to be better/do more than his mom did for her and perhaps wife ain't feeling like taking the high road on this one. [/quote] If OP and his wife have kids young enough to need childcare, they’re probably overextended as is... It could be a matter of protecting herself — she knows for a fact that nobody in OPs family will help her or her children in an emergency. She knows her parents have passed away. If she overextends herself and there are negative career or mental health repercussions, she will have no support. The wife is smart for saying no and putting her children first. [/quote]
