I am absolutely fed up of being the sole bread winner in the house. The kids are 7 and 9. I am frustrated that my Wife keeps saying she needs to not work and stay at home to take care of the kids. The kids go to school and we have a part time maid who comes in twice a week. How do I get her to go back to the workforce instead of sitting at home and spending all my hard earned Money?

Agree your partner should go back to work. Each to their own but I believe everyone should have the ability to support their family. Full-time, part-time, casual, contract or self-employed. Sounds like your partner is using motherhood as an excuse...

Does she cook? If she does, she isn't staying home to waste ur hard earn money. You get to go home to a home cooked meal. Maybe get her to find a part time? But u have to sit down and explain to her slowly.

Well I guess she's right, she wants to assure the goods and what's best for your children. She can go back to work soonm But you can't turn back the time and moments of taking good care of your kiddos.

I’ve totally been there. You need to show her how her spending habits are impacting the family I suggest lots of charts especially pie charts those really drive the message home.

Best to sit down with your wife and discuss the issue at hand. Tell her in a clear and non judgmental manner what you think and how you feel and take it from there.

who would still have to go get the kids from school if their sick or get lice or they get suspended or OSS . They aren't old enough to be home alone yet.

I think by being objective and listing down the pros and cons. There will always be solutions or alternative ways on how you can meet in the middle.

are Yaar let it be let her enjoy your money friend she is your wife earlier man use to take care of wife till her whole life

C'mon Man let the queen enjoy her stay at home. You should be proud of yourself being a breadwinner. Don't force your wife to work.
