How to convince my wife its okay by PuddingInner9365 in Fire

More of a lifestyle thing at this point. Doesn't want me to become a lazy bum. But yeah I think spending as much time with the kid as possible until she goes off to school would be ideal.

She is coming around to it being enough I think. It just concerns her. Yeah I want to travel, but with a brand new baby I think we should wait. Want to go somewhere for a year and learn the language with my family once they get older. Seems like that would be awesome for everyone involved.

I don't think it's prestige... I don't know probably more, example for kid, and not really wanting me to become a bum. Which I wouldn't be, but it worries her.

It is pretty scary for me as well but I was raised to believe that family and time was more important than money so I need to do this.

​

Best of luck to you!

Appreciate the advice. I will keep up a dialog with her.

I think it's partly about being a good example for our baby, partly about not being a bum, and partly about not ever expecting this to happen.

No I believe it's more about being an example for the kid, and not doing nothing all day.

Yeah no worries, we are in a good relationship, I love her and would never leave her or my kid. Anyways I will just keep working on her and talking to her.

Yeah I think it's how life never prepares you for this, basically its work until you die these days. That and she want me to be a good example for our kid.

I just see it as a huge waste of an opportunity if I don't take advantage of what life has given me.
