Well now they’re all in school so she could get a part time job and has thought about it, but hasn’t made the leap. Now she wants a pool. I told her, get a job and save every penny to get yourself a pool. Hell, start a blog/vlog called wifeygetsherpool.com and document it.
Still not there yet. Life would be SO much easier if she made half of what I do, let alone the same amount. Congrats to Ludepower you sunovabitch 
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining or calling her out. We made the choice 14 years ago and our youngest just started kindergarten this year. Plus she taxis them to all the ortho appointments etc while I’m busy with work but holy shit I can’t help but read this and think, man it’d be nice if wifey had some income pouring in as well.
But now I guess it’d fill the pool since my dumbass made the offer  |
Think about how much you saved in childcare by your wife not working. Taking care of 3 kids, cook meals and clean is a lot of work. There’s no down time.
I get a very nice parental leave at my job but I bet no one will survive past 2 days with only me with 2 kids.
