We just had second baby a few months ago. My wife was originally planning to go back to work in the medical field right around now. But due to complications with the delivery and subsequent recovery going to take some extended time, she wouldn't be able to.
Effectively, she's a SAHM at the moment. I also SAH, but WFH in AI / Software. She's starting to feel like she's stuck in a rut. I've been doing what I can to mix things up a bit and make it interesting taking her out on date nights, playdates with friends / family etc.
But I think she misses being productive and earning an income.
I have a good bit of RSUs from my career that've been sitting there for many years with solid growth. But no cashflow / income. So I've wanting to look into into CCs and other income-generating strategies. Finally started doing some of it a couple of months ago, but it's been quite a bit of work.
I think this would be a good thing for my wife to take over. She's excited to take it on, and has been learning about options.
What's a good strategy to start with? I am thinking low-delta (<0.10) 1DTE put-credit spreads on SPY. Max-loss about $1000 / 3-5% expected profit per trade.
Thoughts on this? Has anyone successfully made this kind of life transition?

Poor woman lmao, if she’s missing being productive and earning an income, why would you put her in a position where she risks being detrimental and losing money?
What has she done to you to deserve this?
Retail trading isn’t a job, it’s speculation.
A job
Why not become a professional athlete? This usually pays better and you cannot lose money.
This idea has disaster written all over it. Waiting to read about the divorce on r/AITA.
