Mrs MUN works part time as a teacher. We got our house with a key worker loan so she needs to stay a teacher until we have enough saved to buy them off or sell the house. 2 kids, one is 6 with officially recognised character quirks and the other is 3.

Mrs V is a child minder so my house is filled with Kids. She actually does pretty well and earns nearly average wage doing what she loves and looks after the Mini Vs.
Sometimes the disparity is a trial, she forgets she lives rent free and gets an allowance then goes on about spending her money that she has saved .... that usually ends in tears.Comment

Wife works full time, no kids.Originally posted by paulinefowlersgrowler View Post
Why should she feel obligated to work the same number of hours as you when she (presumably) earns far less than you and you (presumably) earn enough to support the family alone? For one thing, having one stay-at-home parent can make for a much more relaxed household when you get home to find a clean house, dinner on the table, etc.Her latest "plan" - when the kids are older I think I'll stay part time. I could do with time to myself after looking after the kids. FFS - as if I love travelling miles to work/staying away all week - I'll just go to work and you spend it darling!!!!
I don't buy into this "you should be as miserable as I am" model of marriage. Just think how lucky you are to be able to free your wife from having to work, so she can focus on your children.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsOriginally posted by vetranComment

My Mrs works full time, has a v stressful job and wants to work less.
I have no issue in supporting her do that, but I'm more worried she will be bored after a few months and will regret it.
The real problem comes in her having little or no financial control on her spending, which irritates me much more than her working habbits and hopes.Comment
