Father offered high-paying job with long hours and far commute, but refuses to accept it unless his wife agrees to quit teaching and become a SAHM for their young children, sparking tension when she refuses: 'I don't want them to be raised by a stranger'

This dad of two under two is offered a high-paying job, an amazing opportunity to improve the family's finances. The downside is that the job is 1.5 hours away and would require him to work 15 stressful hours, 5 days a week. However, he is well aware that the new salary would nearly double his income…According to him, his wife is what you call a ‘big spender’ and is really encouraging to take the job. Although he knows that he is the one who spends most of the time looking after the children after work, and worries that if they're both working, the kids won't have the support and time they deserve…

After his wife refuses to move closer to his potential new workplace, he makes a ‘condition’ for her…If she agrees to quit her teaching job to become a stay-at-home mom, he will take the job, and they can stay in their current home. But when she refuses to give up her job to be at home with the kids, he really struggles to grapple with the guilt of leaving the kids behind, knowing deep down that he values watching them grow up more than any oversized paycheck.
