Mom_me,

I didn't say it casually to 'take control' . I mean it. Become educated, become financially independent, become a mentor, be in a social team, be aware...

You can find solution only if your know the exact problem.. A general steaming will not lead anywere.  My wife left Microsoft corporation and joined me in Doha, to have a flavor of family life. She can think in two ways. one is ' My hubby is a male egoistic,so he can't give up his job, and Ihave to sacrify and join him. .. The second one is ' I want to enjoy every moment of my newly born kind and come back to workforce once I am ready, let hubby take care of me..

She has option to choose.
