After paying daycare for 2 kids while she worked and covering just the gas in the car to pick the kids up and get to work she was actually negative 10-15 bucks a week. This is not even including wear and tear on the car, insurance, food, or any other bills that a working parent should be able to cover like electric etc.
Move into a cheaper home. Take the bus to work. Cancel cable TV. You are living beyond your means and it will come back to fuck you in the ass if you do not do something about it.

I assume you mean you make more from the government if your wife stays at home than if she works, yes? If that is the case you are a leech

If you do not live within your means you will be fucked and hard in the not so distant future. The economy is going to get much worse before it gets any better.
