She acts as though it is a foreign concept for both parents to work. Like we are an oddity. Have no idea where the sense of entitlement comes from.
Whenever I need to travel for work which is rare and only for one or tow days she acts as though no one else ever travels for work. I am lucky to have a job where I have flexibility in my schedule and whenever she takes time off vacation, I can work around that and go on vacation at the same time even on short notice. She thinks everyone has that luxury even though she doesn't even have the luxury.
I don't even know how to respond to this. She doesn't even leave room in form conversation, just condescending demeaning tone. She has made up her mind that this is wrong and not acceptable.
She regrets marrying a loser. A real man would provide for his family so she could focus on raising your child.
Yes I am a loser who makes $600k.
Then why is she working? You can afford for her to stay home.
I disagree. Her 6th of the income may be what pays for the toys (boats, vacations etc). On that income if you are a w-2 employee with no other business your taxes are really high. Many people don't want to be in debt to their eyeballs.
So you likely currently live in a house worth over a million dollars? Drive cars that are super expensive. I would cut back a little of that if I lost a fith or sixth of my income. Why wont she agree to that then she can stay home.

I don’t think that’s possible. She talked to him for 30 minutes, and he still has no idea what she wants.
I don’t think he is able to talk to his wife about their budget and finances without feeling attacked.
Stop projecting.
The topic of the convo was more about the kid at home doing nothing and how she or someone should do something about it.
Op Troll contorted that to be she needs $5m spouse to stay at home and keep her boat, vacations, and summer house.
The real topic is the WFH parent neglecting their kid and blaming it on their spouse who’s at an office concerned.

Why does she get something just because she wants it? Especially if she’s not earning the money to pay for it.
What an unattractive sentiment. I’m so glad I married somebody who is happy to leave it up to me whether to work or not work when he earns plenty.
I hope you feel the same way about side pieces.
