Just curious, what does your wife do all day? Mine has been at home for about a month due to her layoff and all I hear is how bored she is. Granted she can't go out spending money every day and all of her friends and her sister works so she doesn't have a lot to do especially without kids.

Yeah I can see how that would be really tough, especially getting into the schedule of going to work and then not having that obligation and everyone else is gone during the day.  Rachael is 100% Sally homemaker.  She takes care of pretty much everything around the house (cleaning, dishes, laundry, food shopping) and she actually enjoys doing yard work so sometimes she'll go push the little push mower around and hit the weedeater so we can call off the guy we pay to do it every now and then.  She also does a lot of the personal-life scheduling for us for when we are traveling or heading out to dinner with friends, etc. I don't have time for all that.  I think it helps her that there are a few other moms in our cul de sac that she's become friends with that are also stay at home, so they all go on walks together, she helps them with their gardens and flower beds and such.  I'm also pretty lucky that my wife is frugal and doesn't like to spend money on herself, so I don't have to worry about her going out and blowing money on shoes and purses and stuff like some of my friends' wives do.

I will help out with some stuff around the house and there are "blue" and "pink" responsibilities (I'm usually the one to kill bugs or crawl up in the attic for something) but we have kind of settled in to having that stuff be her "job" while I do the career thing.  When we have kids, she will obviously have her hands more full than she does now and I will probably end up helping a lot more with the chore stuff.  She will be our effective day care though
