Work vs babies

Re: Work vs babies

@akaprincess

but I want to work, and I don’t mind at all.. the issue here is when to start looking/applying. He thinks that when I do get pregnant, that’s when I should look.. because, lets say I am pregnant right, and I am not finding a job, I will be out of pay for however long it takes for me to get one (if I ever even do). I want to play it safe by securing that at-home job now, so I don’t have to worry about it when I have a baby on the way, and can quit my regular job now.

People should manage change, change can be stressful, new baby, new job, new schedule will drive you crazy. Get comfortable in the new job and new routine before baby comes. If you lose 10k in income that is only 7k in take home and you will save so much in transportation, travelling time, groceries that it wont be a financial loss. You have to be very disciplined as it is hard to get motivated at home and train your husband for his expectations as many men expect more if the wife is working from home. Lock yourself in the room.
