AITA - I want my wife to return to work but she wants to remain a sahm

Is there a middle ground where she could work part time? It kind of hurt my mama’s heart when you commented that you could see your child any time during the day with your work’s child care…because she wouldn’t.

Lots of women work all day away from children, I know, but you edited to add that she was hesitant to have a child at all because of her upbringing and only agreed to it if she could be home and present for her kid. It sounds like there is a lot more going on here with her than finances. I can see why she feels like a bait and switch was pulled on her if those were her conditions to have a baby with you…not say that life doesn’t happen, you could not help this scenario, it is what it is. And I’m sorry you’re going through this as a family.

So would a part-time or freelance position help you both get some of what you want/need financially and emotionally going forward?
