My partner is a aircraft mechanic for a major airline i do feel bad the financial burden is on him i just quit my job when I was due to return from maternity leave. This will be the 1st month he wil have to pay my car note but we are working on selling it and selling his sports car for a family car and he has a truck as a secondary vehicle as well. When baby is older and more independent I plan on doing something to bring in some income
My husband works in forensics. It’s not easy for me to stay home, it’s tight but we’re making it work. I’ve overhauled our finances to make savings wherever possible. I don’t feel guilty as for years I was the higher earner, when we first moved in together I paid 6 months rent upfront. So I’ve had my time supporting us and he’s having his. I’m very appreciative that I get to do this and he’s very supportive. We make it work as a partnership.
My partner is an airline captain! But I will say when we started this conversation he was not really making much more money than most of our friends who said they “could never afford to have mum stay home” soo I do think it’s possible on a smaller budget it’s just about having open discussions about what you both want. Not to mention if you factor in the costs of daycare, is it really worth going back to work (if that’s not what you want obvi)
My husband is a master plumber and even though we live comfortably I still budget, cook pretty much all our meals, shop around for deals so we can save money and accomplish things. Im also starting my business this year and I do some side work some weekends whenever Im losing my mind at home.
My husband is a teacher. Great health benefits but it’s definitely tight financially. We make it work though! I am also a personal trainer so I train on the side but it’s not equivalent to another income. It usually covers a bill or two. We know it’s tough now but we feel it will pay off in the long run by me being able to stay home with our son and future kids.
My husband is a itt technician I was a sahm for 1 year I loved it but I'm not built to be a sahm so I work
I am a WFH mom. It’s not easy because I feel I don’t give as much attention to the baby while I work and she gets too much screen time. But it’s only 3 day out of the week. The other 2 day my husband is home to care and take the baby out to play. We are considering putting our little one in toddler school starting August. My husband is a physician assistant and works 4/10s.
I'm currently a SAHM, I was set to go back to work after mat leave but my job decided to fire me before mat leave was up. My partner works as a security technician/installer. And I'd love to go back to work but the pregnancy and me being type 1 diabetic did a number on my body and my vision keeps going in and out, already had surgery on one eye. So, hard to hold a job when I don't know when my vision is going to go again. Thankfully we live in Canada and they have good programs for coverage of diabetic supplies. And we also get child tax every month which is what I use to cover the internet bill and some debt bills.
