  • Abdication of family responsibilities

    I make well over 6 figures a year. Yet my wife continues to insist on working part time at a preschool earning not much more than minimum wage and volunteering on Saturdays to help pay for my daughter's cheer camp. Recently we have been talking about DUIs and how stupid it would be to get one instead of calling each other or Uber. Two Saturdays ago after volunteering I begged her to call me if she had more than one drink or get an Uber. 3 hours later she was arrested for a DUI.

    Before all of this happened I was doing much more than 50% of the housework. Now I am unable to find time to enjoy any activities that I would like to do because I'm constantly driving her around taking care of our daughter cleaning the house while she is out playing at a preschool or slinging hot dogs at volunteer work.

    She does not seem one bit remorseful, she displays no regret, shame and is continuing to drink. Previously she drank excessively now she drinks moderately.

    I have told her that I wanted her to find something else to do besides work at the preschool I have told her I do not want her volunteering I've told her I do not want her drinking she has pretty much blocked me out of her life at this point. She has not told her parents or any of her siblings or anyone else nonenone of our friends, etc. She wants me to not tell our 12 yo daughter and I am ready to tell everyone because I'm over it.

    I'm looking for any advice anyone can give me on what I should do next I don't want to be mean but I'm not letting this ruin both of our lives as well as our daughter's.

    If she has never been arrested before for a DUI, then you might want to give her a second chance and tell her not to allow it happen again.

    As for her working at the preschool, she does it because it makes her happy. Don't force her to stop, because that will mean taking happiness away from her.

      It's true that you earn enough money to take care of your home, but while someone women would be happy not working others would want to work to get their own money. So, you wife obviously derives pleasure in earning her own money. Allow her continue with her preschool work, since that will make her happy.

      If she isn't feeling remorseful for being arrested for a DUI, it's best you bring it to her notice and let her know you aren't happy about what she did.
