[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I did not see anywhere in OPs posts that prior to becoming a SAHM, his wife expressed desire to continue working after children are born. We also don't know whether OP's wife knew that her being a SAHM would cause so much distress to the husband. So in a gist, OP expected her to work but his expectations were not met. There is obvious miscommunication between spouses that should be addressed.[/quote]
Did you see it anywhere in his posts that his wife expressed a desire to become a SAHM after children are born? What makes you think SAH is a default option that doesn't even need to be discussed?  You think SAH is something that is available to women just because they want to?[/quote]

No I did not, which again supports my idea about the miscommunication. This is why we should not take sides as we only hear OP's part of the story.
You made way too many assumptions about me and my attitude toward women's (un) employment. Just to set you straight, I think the default option in the SAHM vs WOHM argument is not to judge other people's choices.[/quote]
