My wife and I have been married for almost three years and we?re happy to say that we?re expecting our little one in later on this year :). My DW is a Flight Attendant which being long haul means her jetting off for several days then sleeping for a day when she comes back, a two day rest, then back on the aircraft again. Maybe I?m being a bit unfair, but (and I know this sounds sad) I could do with her being here helping out in the evenings instead of being in some hotel in a far flung destination. She raised the argument that she?d be off a few days a week so we?d save on some childcare costs. I work full time leaving 7am and getting back at about 7pm for a very average wage. luckily DW?s parents will be on hand to help out when we?re not there, but it seems unfair to involve them so much. Money is also a problem as I?m up to my neck in Credit Card and Loan debt. The only reason I?m so is because I?ve tried to keep the household finances running virtually all on my own. It?s a battle. As much as I like my DWs job the moneys absolutely crazy. I just wish she?d get a different job just so we could start to lead a more fulfilled life and actually make ends meet and of course I wouldn't feel like solitary Dad . Am I being unfair??
