AITA for asking my in-laws to help pay toward my wife demanding to stay home?

I 41 M have been working a full time job while my wife stays at home with our kids. They are now 10 13 16. Wife refuses to work anymore since there is no one to watch the children in the summer. Am I the asshole for asking my wife’s parents for money?? When I asked they told me my wife needs to call them and ask for money not me. We Need new brakes on the car and no credit card left to pay for extra expenses.
