Re: Ok Question for Moms that work????? Hot Topic

My DH has never had a problem being the main breadwinner. I only work P/T, but even if I worked F/T he'd still make more $$$ than me. He loves his job and has no issues being the main financial support for our family.

What I do resent a little is that I work P/T because I do like my work, but I really want to be home with DS. It would be tough but I could probably be a SAHM. I chose P/T because when DS goes to school, I want the option to return to F/T. However, what I resent a little is that DH wants me to go F/T now so we can have more $$$. We have no problem paying our bills so I want to continue to spend more time with DS. The fact that he wants me to work just so we have more $$$ (and the fact that he doesn't seem to mind that I'd see DS less) is what irks me.

No resentment. It's hard to support a family on a single income.

As much as I might like the idea of being a SAHM, I am sure he would also like to be a SAHD and get more time with them.

Instead of one of us working until Midnight and never having time with the kids or each other - we both put in our hours and have time to spend with the family.
