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?

Does she cook and prepare the family meals? After the kids came back from school did she look after them or like teach them homework etc? If she did nothing or no help to the home, its better for her to go work. Let her understand that money doesn't come that easy and the benefits of having extra income. You may ask her try for part time job instead of rotting at home. Some jobs have flexible hours.
