[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, I agree the word "make" her get a job is poor choice of language.

Some good advice here and to answer some questions: she has a good degree fromm an expensive private school (as do most of her friends who are SAH mom's) so she could go back to what she was doing before SAH and probably make 75-100k full time which after taxes would basically just lay for school.

The reason I mention that is because I wonder if she would still think private is worth it if she literally had to endure a year of all the nonsense they work brings just for the joy of saying out kids are in private school.

As others have pointed out, it's just as much about that I see private school as pointless. In fact, I probably have a bit of a chip about it since I started at my company with a dozen others, almost all of them from Ivy or southern Ivy (Duke, Candy) and I surpassed all of them. Most aren't even in the field anymore. Point being, where you go to college doesn't matter as much as people think unless you are in a super rare field that needs a pedigree (like a Supreme Court lawyer). Where you go to high school matters less and middle school?

If this was a cheap expense, then it wouldn't be a hill to die on but it's an enormous expense. Can I afford it? For sure. Does it mean I will work at least 3 more years over this, for sure.

I suppose it just comes down to a philosophical difference as to whether private is an actual benefit vs a country club status thing.

Advice on a productive conversation? [b]Am I allowed to anonymously sneer that my wife's very expensive private school pedigree didn't exactly lead to a good ROI?[/b][/quote]

Jesus, dude. How the hell do you live with that much contempt for your wife? WTF is your problem?

You need therapy to figure out why you hold your wife in such low regard. And why you have such a chip on your shoulder about the Ivy Leagues you surpassed. You sound insecure AF.

Oh, and btw, that ROI? Well, she married a dude who makes half a million and she doesn't have to work. So who's the *actual* intelligent one with a good ROI in your relationship?[/quote]

Yup.

Aside from the obvious downside of living with someone who is secretly sneering at you. [/quote]
