Re: Work vs babies
A few weeks ago i had applied to a bunch of jobs to work from home.. one finally replied saying they are interested .. i want to try it and see if i can get it, lets say I do. The problem is, its less money, but im totally fine with that, as work from home jobs are extremely hard to come by. It will totally outweigh my commute 3+ hours dpent daily driving) and the fact that i can stay home with babies, and earn money, is what I want. Hubby wants it too.
BUT the problem is, hubby wants to wait until i am pregnant, and then start applying to see if i can switch to work from home and all that. I say, why not plan for it now, and then we dont have to worry about it later, and i am all set to do both. Taking care of my family, and working too.
He thinks its not worth it, where i am making more now, and we dont know when/how/if we even start a family. Which i totally get. But i like taking preventative measures now. But he disagrees.
And no, having fam take care of kids etc is NOT an option, so no need to think of that
Third parties…help.
In these modern times husbands aren’t supposed to tell wives what to do, it is their privilege to decide. My wife is a CMA and decided not to work after children. You are absolutely right that it is wonderful for moms to be with the babies. We have lost perspective and give a lot of priority to money.
