Cr. They lose momentum and get in the habit of doing nothing vs. a multitasking synchronized sprint to coordinate dishwasher, clothes washer, and dryer cycles with kids’ bath time in the lulls like they had to when they only had a couple of hours to do 4 hours’ worth of work on a weeknight evening. You will come home to a disaster almost daily. *You* will be doing dishes at 11:30pm. *You* will be folding clothes on the weekend because the fucking baskets full have been sitting there since last week. And god forbid you ever make a suggestion that perhaps she could handle some of this shit and wtf do you actually do all day. And she will be less happy than when she was working because of years of conditioning that American female fulfillment can only come from email jobs. You may not notice any of this right away, but after the honeymoon, it is almost certain.

Meh there are definitely periods like this for my SAHM wife and periods where she does everything, and for sure she acknowledges that having more time means more phone means shittier brain and less motivated and more depression prone overall, but 1) that’s also periodically true of many/most wives with email jobs unless your wife is really a super striver at work (in which case it’s dumb to have her SAHM), but my wife was down this path pre-SAHM, 2) the same critique obviously also applies to me and my lazy non-striver antics at my job, and 3) SAHM wife still does a great job managing kids and making sure they are doing all the bullshit kids have to do now to be functional and develop normally in 2026. For me 3) is a reasonable trade to accept doing some dishes and cooking some times, and I basically never fold laundry.

bad call

the point isn't for her to make money, the point is so she doesn't lose total perspective over hard it is to make money, and to keep her busy so that retarded hamster wheel in her mind doesn't go amok

now she will have brunch with friends every day, compare husbands, spend your money, think of new ways to spend your money, fuck darnell then take you to the cleaners

rip

you should have kept her pushing up the rock like sisyphus

this is retarded. having a SAHW makes them more dependent on you.

anyone that forces their wife to send emails for kikes when they don't need the money is part of the problem. renormalizing traditional single income families is 180.

I am not married but plan to have a sahw. Basically it means I can get head before work and after work(I work from home in my office). And if you think about it chores that a woman can do like raising kids costs 100k+ and you can write off all the taxes, make her a roth ira, solo 401k, etc

Can answer questions. What do you want to know? She seems happy and has been a great wife and mother but it's not for everyone. Based on your other posts it appears you're already HNW and that's the main reason she's stopping work. No denying having a SAHW allows you to dedicate more time to your career, which typically means more travel. Which is why quite a few men above a certain career threshold have SAHWs.

LOL the last thing I want to do is devote more time to my career, but probably need to. I’m also about to inherit a huge book from a retiring partner and income could easily double over the next few years

That's the thing, isn't it?

It is important to have clear expectations and communication around the expectations. For us it was a natural evolution that was kickstarted by having our first baby at the same time I was offered an expat gig. From that moment she never went back to work and it undeniably made it easier for me to be aggressive about work. Not too many years later it became clear if she returned to the workforce her income would barely reach 25% of what I was bringing home (and even worse now) the economics just wasn't there.

Some women will miss work. Some women feel the need to be generating wealth and assets of their own. In our case I do treat her well. Very well. Everything is comingled. Properties in both names.

Do suggest she find something to do outside the house and projects. In my wife's case it's exercise and fitness. Unfortunately her projects includes the rest of the family so our meals are the meals of health and fitness people rather than the search for umami. But I don't mind. It keeps her busy.

Also don't nitpick her spending. As long as she isn't unreasonably extravagant. We have cleaners and outsource stuff. I'm not having her scrubbing toilets just because she isn't working.

It's good if she's conscientious and motivated. She should get involved in school stuff, pta, volunteer for kids extracurriculars etc. This can be a huge boost to the kids social lives since all those involved sahms form a clique and organize play dates and other social events for their kids, but she needs to be social and proactive.

She likes to ride me with sometimes and mess around, but never tried to seriously play. My oldest daughter is a golf nut so I think she would enjoy picking it up

Why is she staying at home when both kids are in school all day? It would have made sense if the kids were both between 0-4 years old. Now she’s just cooking and cleaning which won’t keep her busy enough.
