    I have also pm'd Enabler and had no response although he was online at the time.
    What bluebag says.

    And I think that we have given him more than enough to be getting on with - until he gets Mrs enabler on board with her own LBM and she is posting here in her own right. But I doubt this thread will do much to win her heart and mind .... [having myself been one of the first to suggest she got a job]

    She has also always been one who likes makeup and getting her nails done etc

    internet and landline incl with sky - its all together in a package

    I also get commission on top of salarly but that is so variable ranging from 0-500

    I know it is criminal to post on a thread that has 18 pages after reading just 1 but

    OH
    MY
    GOD

    That is incredible.

    Living the Sex and the City lifestyle in downtown [I don't know where you live?] is not an option!

    What is wrong with these women ?!

    Drivebyargument, thats already been established and the OP is more than aware of this. Perhaps read the rest of the comments before posting something like that in the future?

    I had already acknowledged that, but that staggering comment on thw 1st page almost defies belief and so far from what else I've seen we've got no further except that the OP has declared that his wife is a good mother and lots of people are either repeating the same obvious advice or feeling sorry for them both, which is counter-productive.

    And talk of extending the family is deflecting away from the issue and burying heads in the sand, IMO.

    If it's your money, pay the bills first then open up a private savings account and tell her you don't have anything/much left.
