You did say she's a woman, right?

Sorry, couldn't resist....

Seriously - while I find her attitude more than a little alarming, I think there's some basis to her reaction. I'm guessing she see's not "exit strategy" to your saty at home dad idea. I think the SAHD thing only works when you have a mom, who's being compensated reasonably well, and at least likes her job.

One question - and not taking sides here, since you're willing to work evenings, why aren't you doing so on top of your substitute gig? A lot of in - roads to permanent jobs come from temporary jobs and part time - people hir people they like, so giving more people a chance to discuover your qualities can't hurt. I'm assuming you aren't limiting yourself to teaching jobs.....
