You definitely should decide these things BEFORE having the kid.
Maybe she could try part time work.
DONT. Take it from me and every single one of us who did it for a few years then got blindsided with infidelity or resentment. If you do it have an income at least.
If you can afford to stay home, do it. They grow up so fast. You don't get that time back. It's so precious.
I think the other issue is when it comes to decide kind of things I know that it is usually the mother that stays home with the child there are men that and fathers that would love to stay home with their children in the exact same manner but if men were to do that it would be from what I've observed society does not like men to do that and I aim this mostly at women I personally feel that either one is more than capable of raising the child but it is more about fairness I think when it comes to men. I mean I don't have children myself would love to have children haven't found the right partner yet but I will I understand the most people will look at what I've said and because I've now said I don't have children take it with a pinch of salt the understand this I have watched my brother wanting to spend time with his children I'm being in the situation where he has to work to keep the house over their head he wants nothing more than to pick his kids up from school and enjoy the life with his kids but he has to go and work this is why I base it from this😊 this is certainly something that should be discussed before having children though
Bruh, work harder to make more money so your wife can be a SAHM. Like a MAN. How is that even a debate?
Budget budget ! Priceless time
Too bad dad has to miss all that time, and giggles, and first steps, and all that.
A conversation should have been had before the pregnancy. Before the wedding before the engagement.
Guarantee she has a college degree.
Perfect example of a man who wants to split the bills, but will leave her in charge of the entire house
Stay at home but watch a couple other kids too. That's what we did. We opened an in-home daycare. My kids have never been to a daycare outside of our home, and my wife significantly contributes to our income as well.
He does want the all the finiacial resposibity and he will have less time with baby because he will have to work more
I stayed at home and did a freelance job. It wasn't a ton of money but I felt that I was contributing financially as well as a SAHM.
So is he allowed to be a stay home dad or he cannot enjoy the giggles and the time too?
there can be such huge pressure to be the sole wage-earner in your household. I am, since my husband was laid off and couldn't get new work. It was great to have him at home, but it was scary scary for me.
Stay home!!!!!
Having a woman that wants to stay home and be a stay-at-home mother there is nothing I wouldn't do to make sure that happens
Honestly, this is why we should plan this ahead of the pregnancy. And look in this economy, forget quitting the job, why even have kids. Ahit is about to get uglier, they need both jobs
My ex and I decided I would be a SAHM. Now after a year he was basically jealous that I was at home with our son even though that's what we said we both see that "that's how it should be" and we both agreed to it
Stay home! I was a person who would have preferred to work outside the home and did! Before long I had no choice. After my kids were grown and I am now retired I get to hear how I was a failure as a mom. You can’t win either way.
Why not see if both parents can free up some time 🤷♀️
Then both of them can spend that time with the kid instead of one getting het all the time and one missing most of it
If you're not married yet, learn from this clip. This is one of those things you HAVE to discuss and come to an agreement on before you decide to commit. It's true that sometimes women think they would want to keep working and then have a baby and realize that nothing else matters. But it's still a topic that must be dealt with before you decide to get married.
Also, if a family can afford for mom to stay home, she 100% should. Babies need their mothers, physically and psychologically, and those early years are so crucial. She clearly stated that her husband's objection isn't that they NEED the second income, but the "opportunity cost." Disgusting. That manchild needs to let go of his greed and support his wife in being there for their kids.
There is so much learning and changing in those first 3 years. it makes a Huge difference in the childs mental development and emotional stability.
What I want to know is how much of the childcare is he doing and how much is she doing? I suspect part of her motivation to stay home, along with the guilt of feeling like a failure because she's taught mom = caregiver", is she feels like it'll be easier since she's working and doing the lions share of the childcare.
I stayed at home, then did a part-time job. He came home, meal already cooked and l went out. Was hard a first, but both of you are parents.
I don't recommend any woman be a stay at home mom. I was one for 4 yrs and I saw a side of my husband that I didn't see before making that choice. Half of marriages end in divorce and as beautiful as being home with your child can be, you are putting your financial security totally in the hands of your husband, impacting future earning potential and retirement as well. It's a risky deal.
People really do enter marriage without having this conversation? And when the marriage fail, gonna say marriage suck? 😂
Your husband is going to resent you…don't do it. He will pick a fight over little things. You will become a maid instead of a mom. Any woman reading this message, please only become SAHM, if your husband is fully on board with the idea.
Didn't they discuss this issue before they were married??? That's what dating is for! A man that can't support his wife being a mother to their child is not a good candidate for marriage .
My wife never worked for the entirety of our marriage. I really did have a strong resentment shouldering the entire burden of our finances. I worked three jobs, served in the Army National Guard, was laid off, fired, did Uber and other gig work during full-time school to get my bachelor's degree, now finally after after 16 years. I've now been steady making good money and saving for retirement. I resented my wife for not helping with the finances. But I now know it was important to shield our kids from so much turmoil. It was worth it
