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?

well, it may look like an excuse but it culd also be possible that she is worried about not being around when the kids come back from school. who do you think will take care of the kids when they are home? if it is a possibility, maybe your wife can take a part time job for now. this will ease her worries about not being around for the kids too. once they are more grown up and can take care of themselves, she can move to a full time position.
