My wife was actually quite happy when I advanced the ideas of her staying home with the kids (we only had one at the time). I'd sat down and done the math on how we could survive on my salary alone, she hated her job, and we went for it. She does have some times when she feels stuck at home, but has ameliorated those for the most part by starting a home-based business. I personally feel that the love and attention our kids get at home is worth the money we might lose from her given (especially given cost of day-care, taxes, cost of work, etc).
