I am absolutely fed up of being the sole bread winner in the house. The kids are 7 and 9. I am frustrated that my Wife keeps saying she needs to not work and stay at home to take care of the kids. The kids go to school and we have a part time maid who comes in twice a week. How do I get her to go back to the workforce instead of sitting at home and spending all my hard earned Money?

Your kids are still in primary school. They end pretty early actually. I'm sure she worries about who will fetch them, who will greet them at home after school, who cooks their lunch and dinner. You may want to consider getting a full-time maid or send ypur children to student care centre. You may want to ask her to work part-time, there are some jobs that offer about 4 hours of work and she can reach home before kids is out of school. Also you need to play an active role of a father if you want to motivate her to return to work. Help her with the kid's homework, send them to school, help prepare breakfast etc.
