AITA for telling my wife to either take my money or she can drop our kids off to the daycare?

My wife and I have 2 kids(3m, 15m) she was a stay at home mom but due to some change in plans I was able to start my own business, I make triple than I used to working for someone else and my wife got a job too so now we are doing financially ok. She found a job at a local bakery and due to that she now works 12 hour shifts from 2pm to 2am with 30 minutes lunch break from 8pm to 8:30 but she gets 2 days off per week and I work 9am to 5pm. Our baby has been sick for a while and we can’t take him to the daycare so it’s been hard. She takes care of kids till she goes to work, I take care of babies after I get home and until she gets back. But on her days off, she literally does everything, if I try to help she complains that I’m not doing things her way so it’s tiring and I was being stubborn and didn’t help. She lost it at one point and said that I shouldn’t complain about anything when she’s doing all the work on her days off and I’m just doing the bare minimum. So I told her to either take my money or send the kids to daycare while she keeps being stubborn and trying to do things alone, she is still mad about it but she did take the kids to daycare today as the baby is healthy enough but I feel like I hurt her feelings.
