We could, but with our situation, we don't need to
Our nanny watches our daughter at our house for 6 hours/day, 4 days/week and our daughter is napping for 3 of those hours
I usually go home and eat lunch with her as well
My wife will probably stay at home if we have another anytime soon

This is where the article jumped the shark completely
“So far we’re looking at a grand total of $67,860! Remember, we’re working with extremely conservative averages here.”

The truth is, I’m ashamed of any time I’ve ever made her feel guilty or humored when she’s purchased something for herself. I’m ashamed that she has ever felt like she doesn’t have just as much right to our income as I do. The fact of the matter is that our income doesn’t even come close to covering what she does for our family.
Sounds like this Beta mofo should be the stay at home wife.

Gf is on that year away from work Europeans do when they have a kid and get like half their monthly wage from their employer.
Its doable but on E-4/E-5 but Ive had to basically curb her spending big time. I am much better at managing money than she is. Can't wait till she gets back to work this fall. But daycare is going to be a kick in the nuts to the wallet.

Yep. I don't even understand the point of the article to be honest.

he includes stuff in there that she would be doing whether she was staying at home or not. Chef? who the hell has a personal chef prepare every meal? financial assistant? PR Assistant to go to dinner? wtf is that?
You can tell they haven't had sex since the last kid. Otherwise there would be a line "Personal Escort: $300 per session twice a month"

Yes I can afford it. In fact, I'm starting this in two months.

wife stayed at home until all 3 boys were in Kindergarten. We just couldn't see strangers changing diapers and such......cuddle time is mommy's.
That said, it is a huge luxury that some people just can't pull off and it doesn't mean they love their little ones any less.
Mom works now and will one day make more than me. BUT, we are living meagerly and have opted for a reasonable home not a budget-busting, PB&J anchor.

We are currently looking to move into our final house, then my wife (who makes over 100K) can stay home if she wants. We have a 10 month old and are expecting.

I earn the money. Mrs. Pimp "stays home" and makes everything else happen. Without her, it would all come to a screeching halt. I view what she does as every bit as important as what I do, and I am not being patronizing. Sure she gets to spend two hours in the gym and do nice stuff, but it doesn't make me feel resentful, it makes me feel like the paterfamilias. Feels REAL good to come through for the family and work hard. Mrs. Pimp has an accounting degree and has been a good earner earlier, but once she started staying home our family of five started purring. No more stress, meals on time, smiles on the kid's faces, real family harmony.

Pimps got this figured out
Mind asking how much she made before? How much you make now?
Trying to plan my wife's early retirement, the selling point is she'll have 2 hours of gym time a day

There was something on the radio here in Houston last month where someone said that a stay at home mom's salary should be equal to over 200k .
My wife was staying home at the time. I told her she better not be getting any ideas. It was definitely nice to have her home and I admit that it wasn't a vacation for her (taking care of a 5 month old). She was actually ready to go back to work after doing it for a while
.
I'm not going to get all sappy about it, but I did feel a little bad for my wife when it came to the money. We had a joint account that my paychecks went into. I obviously had no problems buying something for myself. But if my wife wanted something, she felt like she had to ask me. She had always worked and bought her own things, but now she felt like it was my money. Not totally fair since she was staying home doing a good bit of work. But that was her hangup, not mine. And in reality, I'd rather have that problem than a wife who felt like they never had to talk with me about major purchases.
