Sit down with the bills. Add up the numbers with her. Ask her how you, *as a team* are supposed to make this work. It isn't just your problem that the ends don't meet and you two need to figure out a way out of this together.

So, no, I wouldn't get family to pressure her to go to work. I would talk to her as an adult, not a recalcitrant child and make a decision as a married couple.
