I have worked jobs that take me away from home, ie. offshore 28/14 schedules, and I have done this for 4 years now. She says it bothers her cause she has to be a 'single' parent, but when I am home that is all I do-'make up for her time that she cared for the kids. I am the bread winner making 60-70k or more a year compared to her 15-20k that has no benefits. The other day she gave me a deadline of one month to find a job in NC where the median income is like 20-27k and limited benefits. To give you another idea just daycare alone is like 9k with the possibility to come down to 7k when the youngest goes to pre-k school. Let me not mention the truck, house, or just maintenance payments. I think her plan is buy straight out a trailer and live there and work at Wally World for $8.oo an hour, as long as I am home with her and the kids. I have stated my dislike for NC and wish to move to another area, but she has family in NC and wants to build a clientele there. Am I in the wrong?
