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?

if you are worried that she is spending your money unwisely, maybe you can speak to her nicely and help plan better. sometimes, she may not be aware that you feel this way, and if you discuss it openly with her, she will take the right steps to check where possible. also, i think the work from home option as suggested by others is also good for now. once the kids are more grown and can be left at home on their own, maybe then she can go regularly to office. till then, she can contribute to the house a little by working from home.
