This was a mans comment to another man who was asking for advice because his wife wants to be a stay at home mom!! I enjoyed reading it.! Do I detect a bit of a whine there? If so, stop it now. Be proud your wife wants to raise your kids rather than shuffle them off to some uncaring babysitter. No one can raise your children better than you or your wife - especially since youve gone through the agonies of infertility. Buck up and be the dad. As for any perceived financial crisis... good gawd, youre comparing your children to some paycheck. Again, buck up and be a dad. So what, you wont be able to afford to go out to eat and party every night or buy that new techno gadget with all the bells and whistles... instead you will have memories and good times with the family. If you can get over the zeroes on the paycheck long enough to set a budget and stick to it, you can still enjoy life. You wife wont be raking up mileage on her car, not to mention the price of gas, by not going to work. She wont have the lunch expense or the clothing expense or the grooming expense or the office gift giving expense or the hundred other expenses connected with work. Call the insurance company to take her car off to work. Shell be able to make healthy meals at home rather than being rushed and being forced to bring home pricey take out. You have the kids for 18 years. In the scheme of things, thats not long. Its over before you know it. You can not get that time back. Its not just staying home to raise them when theyre little, but its even more important to be home when theyre teens. If she wants to stay home when theyre in high school, thank her because theyll be all the better for it. Now, go hug your wife and support the decision she makes.
