Does he give you money atleast? Yeah saving without him knowing would also be good. You just never know what happens tomorrow
It is so rough. I was raised highly independent, and worked all the way up until last September. Before that, I worked from home raising my firstborn- he was a little over 2 when I quit due to second pregnancy. A baby was okay, but a toddler while working was too much. It is so hard and took a toll on my health. So with a high risk pregnancy and an out of state move, I became a SAHM. It's been extra hard for me, because we moved into a situation to take care of the MIL who we found out later was in deep debt, his hours got cut, and we've just had a lot extra, unexpected expenses. First time in my life I have had to do WIC, SNAP and Medicare. But if I worked, I might break even on childcare, so it wouldn't be worth it. But I miss the work environment, the socializing, and having my own money to spend. It sucks always asking for the things we need.
Yeah, the feminist revolution left some holes, but things do seem to be improving over time. Maybe instead of paying men more to take care of women, they can pay women more so they can afford a career break to raise children. Who knows what the future may hold...?
Be a real estate agent and work from home as a SAHM… in the process of doing it myself and I hear it’s nice to do as a mom and super rewarding🤷🏻♀️🩵
@Lizzy ofcourse he does, he has to but this post is not about if he’s giving me money or not, its about how I have to rely on him for money, it’s about how us women that stay at home with no income have it so hard meanwhile it’s sounds like it’s way different in other countries
@Jaquelyn I feel you! It’s my first time doing WIC to (and I’m still waiting on it but that’s another story) it really sucks asking for the things we need or even just explain what we bought. I really miss earning my own money and doing with it what I want ugh. We gotta stay strong mama, sending you love 💕
@Bonny 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@Brie how to work from home as a real estate agent? Please share I’m interested!
@Jaquelyn This is incredibly relatable!! 💕
You’ve gotta get an RE license in your state! You’ll have to look up prices and criteria for your specific state🥺🩵 in Texas it’s a 180 hour course that costs a couple hundred, final exam is $50 and then finger prints and license application is a couple hundred but again, I hear it’s well worth the money which is why me and my husband splurged to do the courses and get our licenses together :)
@Brie love that! I’ll look into it thank you
Being in a relationship and raising children is teamwork. Someone has to be at home with the children so someone needs to work. I think people overthink it.
We really can't, but we do, we suck it up and we fight hard.That's how we do it.
